    Car not level?

    Problem solved: Took it to a body shop, they took my car apart, put it back together, turns out one of my tires was the wrong size. 'Twas not the car. Passed the finger test easily when I put on my new tire. Fail for me though.

    Coilovers and end links

    What about the length on the back. I haven't figured that out for myself yet.

    ok got my struts/mounts ordered so now need install advice and tips

    I just did about the same thing. I have KYBs with Monroe mounts with stock springs in the back and MSP in the front. I originally had S-Techs but I have to keep my back right from mysteriously scraping. One annoying thing you need to look out for is aligning the strut mounts properly so that...

    Car not level?

    So I put my stock springs back in today and... still not level. Now I'm confused. I thought it had to be the springs if the struts were new. Now that both are completely different, what's left to be changed?

    Car not level?

    My car hasn't been sitting level of late. I only noticed it when I had passengers in the back which, of course, adds a ton of extra weight. Anyway, I noticed that my back right is EXTRA low compared to the rest of the car. I assume that with that corner lower, it pulls the front right and back...

    Footwell LEDs

    I wish I was with my car, then I could tell you. I did have to take out my gauges to wire everything properly and cleanly. Now the footwell LEDs dim with the dome (though now it's off). I think the answer is somehwere in here...

    Factory stereo

    Good space for an input jack... or would it be easier to install the cassette player and use one of those cheap cassette to headphone jack converters?

    Fabric on door panels

    I took my door panels out for convenience which meant the handles were already off. I popped the switches and the inserts around the locks out as well. To make sure everything went back in properly, I made slits in the vinyl and made sure the vinyl wasn't so stretched that it would rip and be...

    Horrible quality but I think you'll get the idea.

    Fabric on door panels

    I put the new fabric over the old. I like the panels being extra squishy now lol. I'll post pics in a bit.

    Fabric on door panels

    If there's a Hancock Fabric store near you, look at the vinyl they have. I recently recovered my door panels ("suede" sections anyway) and I used their red vinyl. It all cost about $10 for the fabric and the spray adhesive.

    What have you done to your P5 today?

    Over the past month I've been doing some serious maintenance. I ran into a curb because I drive too fast. ANYWAY, the result is two new front struts and endlinks, a new front right lower control arm, a new mud guard in my wheel well, new window hardware for my driver's window, a new half axle...
