So I go the 15mm spacers to “fit” up front But had to unscrew half the fender liner To get access and do some Super minor surgery to some metal edges underneath cause they seemed like they could puncture the tire, I added another .5 to .8 degrees of negative camber to the fronts but it Don’t really help since the added caster has the wheels towards the front more and that’s were my contact lies.

Tested the 20mm’s in the rear and still had clearance, so I slapped on the 25mm’s

It’s like a tiger now and maxed out with the -2.5 camber and 235s on a 7.5 wheel.

Just in time to swap to a bigger turbo.

Maybe (probably).
well my AP is showing up today, so once its all tuned up you can feel them back to back to decide if you stay is20 or jump to hybrid since a maxed out is20 VS a regular 38 shrinks that power gap if your near say 340hp and still get the low rpm punch that a is20 can deliver.

340? That might be a bit optimistic, not sure. 8 was thinking it's closer to 330whp now, up from 300.

It's definitely got more punch and especially in 4th on the freeway. Tried it out on the mile long uphill stretch on the parkway where I try to get ahead of all the trucks and suvs lumbering up towards the exit to the freeway. Pulls very strong now.

I certainly wouldn't mind feeling what a 400hp car has to offer before deciding.

I don't know if this counts as doing something to my car, but it's mostly car parts. Working on the pigtail to switch to ACC and lane change assist capable ABS module.

Come to Phoenix when boost season arrives and you can drive mine.

Installed ST rear sway bar and Moog endlinks. The car feels sooo much better going through the turns and it makes me look forward to my daily commute through the twisties!

Important info for Moog endlinks that I was unaware of and this is straight from the manufacturer:

"Your endlinks will have just a very small amount of grease in
them, just enough to keep them from seizing up while sitting
on the shelf. Once you install them, you will need to grease them
the rest of the way, then with each oil change you want to make sure
you squirt some grease in them."

Totally overlooked this when I installed mine. Which grease should you use?
