Was sort of getting tired of the wheels being pushed in so far and decided to do spacers. I thought 15's would be good, then possibly 20's and finally settled on 20 front, 25 rear after reading a bunch of threads.

I got everything on tonight along with installing a handful of LED's in various spots including the fogs (what a pain!).

Anyway, after dropping the car back down I definitely like the fronts but I'm actually thinking the rears are spaced out a bit far. I'll give it a week or two and let my eyes adjust. It also makes the wheel gap look larger for some odd reason. I really can't lower the car with the streets and steep driveway entrances around here. Anyone else feel the 25's are too much on the rear? I have an IPL with stock wheels.

The LED's were a big improvement wherever I put them. I've got a handful from Diode Dynamics and some from Amazon/Ebay. I put them in the trunk, doors, and city lights as well as the fogs. The trunk, doors and fogs were a dramatic improvement and the city lights just look nicer than the halogen bulbs. I put 5000K bulbs in the city lights and they're just a hair more blue than the stock HID bulbs.

I went with one of the super bright fog H11 bulbs that have a fan built in. I wanted to go with one of the Diode Dynamics bulbs but I wasn't ready to shell out $120+ for fog LED's. The version I got was quite a bit deeper than the stock bulbs and it necessitates moving the washer fluid reservoir out of the way to install it. I removed the entire liner from the wheel wells to get to everything and did the city lights from the top, removing the air boxes. Very easy that way for the city lights. Removing the washer reservoir wasn't particularly hard, just a bit troublesome and time consuming.

The fog lights project slightly different color than the HID driving lights but the fogs seem to fill in a lot of the areas the driving lights miss. I'd definitely say they increased visibility. I have large herds of roaming deer in my neighborhood and they tend to all come out at night and line the roadways. More light is definitely good. No one flashed me in the short trip I took so they must not be blinding the other cars.

Anyway, I have a few more LED's to put in, the map lights and backup lights in particular which should be a nice improvement.

I'll try to shoot some photos either tomorrow or Sunday and post them up. Too late now and I don't feel like hauling out the big cameras.

 

Pictures! :-) I can't wait to see this bc I was thinking about getting spacers too!

 

25mm probably poke a little without the car being lowered. I had 20mm on stock rear suspension for a while and looked great!

Pics pics!

 

 

Dang what a let down, where are those photos?!

 

would love to see pics aswell! Want to do spacers

 

Pics!
Looking to lower my car next month, possibly adding spacers. We needs pics!

 

Ok pics taken with the iPhone. Have to work today and quite busy with the political happenings in SC and Nevada. One note, be sure to take it out for a drive and then retighten your lug nuts with torque wrench to proper spec.

After looking at the car again this morning, it doesn't look as pushed out as I thought it did last night. 25mm in the rear doesn't seem like a lot but it is.

Pics! Took a few in my driveway and then at work where it was sitting flat. Short, steep driveway which is one of the reasons I can't lower the car. I could probably get away with topped out KW's or something like that where there's only a very small drop from stock.

 

Just some quick thoughts on change in handling and steering feel. I did notice a difference in steering feel. Best way I can describe it is a more immediate reaction to steering input from center. I owned an Evo a while back and it has that same sort of immediacy.

Still understeers something fierce though. So I don't notice a difference in overall handling. I don't think I'm liking the the stock RE050A's. Still plenty of tread depth left so it'll be a while before they're swapped out for some PSS's.

 

looks perfect! Enjoy!

 

Nice car I have the same color. Here's how my back up lights turned out, they look really good at night worth the $10. Also you should get the Diode Dynamics, "tail as turn" those look great too.

 

I went with these for my reverse lights.

 

I did these for backups...arriving next week some time.

Installed the map lights and license plate LED's tonight. I swear there's no bulb in my glove compartment. I've got a handful of LED's left and no place to put them, LOL.

 

Looking good with the spacers.

Thanks for posting. I was debating whether or not to go 20mm or 25mm

 

AF: I read you initial post and I find myself in the other side of your observation. The 25mm rears are perfect, and the 20mm fronts are not "out" enough. It could be a difference in our respective Gs (yours an IPL, mine a regular X). But I gotta say, with the factory low, that IPL looks sweet with the widened stance.
