ive done my own intakes/cat backs and stuff.. of course those are incredibly simple.

For the specs is it sounding overpriced? well. i wouldnt be paying 5k anyways.

 

Nah, not a bad price really. Doing all that yourself would cost much more.

 

he got back to me saying the brand is "precision"

 

good brand. car sounds like a safe bet

 

well this is assuming that it is in fact that brand. how do i check? he said he didnt see anything stamped/tagged on it. of course its dark out and maybe just didnt see it.

also the thing is 1" off the ground basically. the tires rub turning into parking spots etc. i looked at the adjustable thing. its like a O ring with notches. and it has measurement markings on the thing. is that a easy DIY? ****. i dont even know how i would jack up the thing it is so low.

 

well does it have coilovers or does it have just plain drop springs? If coilovers, you can easily raise it up to the desired ride height. Just make sure you make the left and right even with each other and don't make the back too much higher than the front, things like that. You have to get an alignment after you change the ride height but that's a small price to pay for drivability.

 

KYB 1 PIECE FULLY ADJUSTABLE SUSPENSION, i assume that is it.. I guess then its not a huge deal. i wasnt thinking about alignment. its just annoying to hear the tire rub. drivability is amazingly smooth. on a road my stock '04 ex felt like crap on because of the road repairs this felt solid, didnt even feel the need to avoid the little bumps.

 

I wouldn't want to drive 1" off the ground either though, I don't blame you. If I were in your shoes I would raise it a little after buying. I can't stand rubbing or scraping of any kind.

 

i doubt its actually 1"... i think im exagurating a bit.

oh, so how to i verify the turbo is the brand he says it is. something has gotta say a name on it

 

and..... sorry man ive got way too many questions. when i met him today i found the tags expire next month. i said it must pass DEQ before i buy (idk what yours is in FL, but cars need to pass smog test here to renew registration/tags)

with all that crap on it how does it effect emissions? are these cars likely to fail?
