The stock setup of the high beams running at half voltage as the DRLs is bad for the filament of halogen bulbs. Halogens need to run at (near or over) full voltage for the actual halogen cycle to work. Lifespan and luminosity are both negatively affected with the stock setup. Inspection of...

So my 16 sport had a Knoi FSD / H&R setup and I loved it, I very recently moved to a 2018 GT Premium (all the spaceship stuff + Manual!) and was able to salvage my CS exhaust, intake and wheels. Suspension is a bit more complicated so I had to give up somewhere. So in starting part-way over and...

Hi, My Corksport rear swaybar and a few other bits arrived today in the post. I'm pretty excited and getting them installed on Wednesday. I'm thinking the softer setting will be better for Winter driving. Just curious if anyone has any experience of driving in snow with this setup soft vs hard...

I have a Yakima Control Tower / Landing pad round bar setup off of my 16 hatch. This will work on either the sedan or hatch if you add the rain rails with covers to allow access to the mounting bolt holes. Pads were always placed on a clean car with a sealant applied and never set on the...

I have been running 205/50-17s on OZ racing wheels on my 14 i touring for a year. After wearing those out, I put on 215/45-17s. This setup is an inch smaller diameter than the stock 205/60-16s. These cars are geared high and my gearing is now 5% lower than stock. My tire/wheel package is...

I was just curious what would it take to make this work on a stock height car? I've seen offssets between +35 and +45 for this. Just not sure how well it fits how big a tire I can go.

I plan to get snow tires for my car to switch to during winter. Unfortunately, I know nothing about the pricing of wheels and tires. I don't want to overpay and I want to make sure I have enough money put aside for them this fall. I plan to get a set of cheap steel wheels and trustworthy snow...

So for the summer I want to get coilovers to drop my car and get rid of my wheel gap or at least get rid of most of it. Now lowering springs would be an obvious answer you'd say as I want to go cheap! But with the drop I'm looking for I wouldn't last a day in the winter as I broke my bumper at...
