0oE · 07-01-2007, 08:00 PM

There 17" with 215\45 Falken ZE 512's, it was only dropped yesterday so im expecting it to settle a bit more. No creaking noises.....yet.....but when i did the install i took off the brown rubber shit from the front springs and used the oem rubber things.

japspecjohn · 07-01-2007, 08:12 PM

RiceBowL54 · 07-01-2007, 08:39 PM

OOOO... that looks great! I'm on s.techs too, but wanna get the 18s. Did you need spacers for the front?

0oE · 07-01-2007, 08:43 PM

i did the exact same thing but still makes noise but when i called TEIN USA they said i wasnt supposed to take them off(the brown rubber on the bottom) and that i dont put the stock rubber back on....but im gonna put back the brown ones on when i have some free time and still use the stock ones over it..we'll see

japspecjohn · 07-02-2007, 05:46 AM

those tire seem to make alot of road noise after a few thousand miles...good tires just noisey

0oE · 07-02-2007, 01:58 PM

ahh ic, I had the Falken Azenis before and found they were noisy on the freeway aswell

0oE · 07-02-2007, 02:04 PM

The thing is though with the brown rubber on the spring just didn't seem like it would gave as much cushion as the OEM rubber, i tried to fit the one over top of the brown one but it was too tight. Also the OEM one had a little nipple on each side of it which fit in a slot on the base of the strut. Which i assumed would stop the the spring from spinning in the strut holder. I have yet to hear any noises from them but they've only been on for 3 days.

JeShUa · 07-02-2007, 02:37 PM

You said nipple

But it looks good.. just tired of seeing hfp wheels :].

0oE · 07-02-2007, 04:18 PM

hehe.....yes i did...i like nipples....mmmmm

I have yet to see one in my town with the HFP rims...although there are many on this site

I may be willing to trade the HFP's for some Euro CTR rims if anyone is intereseted.....
