I've used Hawk Performance Ceramic Pads for around 15-20k miles now, I like them. Definitely not as good as OEM, but more than good enough for like 7/10ths 'spirited' driving on public roads.
However, I did change the brake fluid to ATE Typ 200, so that may have lessened the impact of having a...
Absolutely not.
I bought a FRP replica J's grill made by EPR International off of eBay late last year. Ended up selling it to a friend with an FK7.
That replica fits like absolute shit. It's 1-2 cm narrower than the real thing so it can't properly clip into the bumper. The J's has fitment...
I have the spoiler, fitment is alright. There are four mounting holes, two on each side attaching the wing to the endplates. The drivers side bolts threaded without a problem but the passenger side gave me a massive headache. I'm pretty sure I ended up rethreading one of the holes as I was...
I cut the bumpstop at the first notch like Eibach and Spoon suggest you do.
Springs have been on the car for 28k miles, no issues so far. Only complaint is that the ride is pretty bouncy in comfort mode.
Car looks great!
Did you have to unbolt/remove anything else to make room to install the camber arms? I have a set of these sitting at home; just unsure of what I need to do to install them.
Grille and front vents should be direct bolt on.
I know for a fact that the rear vents won't fit without modification, a member elsewhere on this site tried to put revised hatch vents on his FK7 and they didn't fit. The revised rear vents protrude inward so you'd have to cut a ton of plastic...
Used a Spoon Duracon for about 8 months with stock shifter, then with an assortment of Acuity and Alta parts, then with a full Acuity shift assembly replacement. I liked how the Duracon was temp-resistant but since it's only 65g, shifts felt extremely notchy, especially with the Acuity shifter...
Had a Spoon Duracon for like 8 months then found it harder to get into gear the more miles I put in the car. I think the low weight of the knob had a little to do with it. Had a few times where the car refused to go into 3rd or 5th gear.
Ended up borrowing a friendās weighted Seeker knob and it...
tbh I donāt think itās a huge issue if you just daily the car. if you did any serious driving then I definitely wouldnāt buy one.
Based on sound alone the Injen is by far the ābestā. OP just wants sound so thatās why I suggested it.
As others have said, just buy an intake; itās way less of a headache.
I went from a K&N panel filter to a Mishimoto intake. The K&N made a bit of noise but the Mishi is way louder.
If youāre purely doing this for the noise then Iād recommend either the Injen V1 or AEM intakes. I have friends...
Noticed a few people asking about holeless versions of these. I emailed Top1 and asked for a set of the vent covers without holes a few months ago and they agreed to do it.
Have you considered having the car shipped? I couldnāt find a single dealership in the south that had a Type R for MSRP so I just ended up buying one from a dealer in Buffalo and had it shipped to Houston.
