Ebay stuff arrived from Japan :) 2 x rear Tailights and a Dash cluster, check the difference between the cracked taillight and its replacement ... colour is much crisper / richer... slowly getting there

Also fitted the Megan Coil Overs last night. Kept ride hide at pretty much OEM... just a tad lower. Been setting up ride quality today... just Having a slight issue with the rear though. I like the dampening at -18 from hard .. but from -17 on there's a strange sound on compression. and the softer / more minus I go the sound gets more frequent. Then if I click back towards Hard / + it goes away :? To try and explain the sound id use the word Squelch, its weird but its not a knock.
So I'll have to try isolate the source of the sound, that's for this weekends playtime :)

Still looking for a Manual S15 ECU. While doing the Manual conversion id like to remove the rear sub assembly to give it a once over. Also considering doing Subframe spacers same time... the ones that raise the subframe a touch towards body to aid a lowered cars geometry. Anyone know which brand is best? ( only the best for the s15 :P )

PBM or SPL. They will be solid bushes, so it is going to add quite bit of NVH and if it is made decently the brand shouldn't really matter.

My 2c would be to keep it OEM for now.

ja the main reason for changing them is to help keep the camber neutral as i lower the car. Just from the little bit that ive lowered it it's already at -2.5. my goal is to run nothing more than -1.5 on the street.

Anyway financially things 'seem to be settling a bit for me, will only know for sure in about a month .. but it looks good that im keeping the 15 - permanently. Part of the reason ive made no serious changes to the car thus far has been in case i needed to sell it quickly. Its still a long term / slow project but now im considering wide body kits, and a bit more juice for the bay :D

@Nizan-R .. that site is strange man! I selected "buy it now" price.. I got charged .. then it tells me auction is closed and that I did not meet the minimum amount.. which is cool but.. I was still charged.. wtf?! Have you bought much from this site.. you sure its cool / legit?

@ Riekert... Ebay boet.. heres the link for the Ebay store I got the S15 stuff from. Hope it helps

i have not used them as yet .
they are the same company http://www.rhdjapan.com so is legit,have used rhd lots of times befor.
may be a bug in the site system
