Installed my Megan RUCAs. Took little longer than needed since I didn't have proper tools and tried to improvise. Eventually my buddy got everything and came over. I didn't have time to adjust them so right now its back to stock but I will adjust them to fix my camber shortly. I also got to put my wheels back on the rear and painted my roof black also. I'll update everything shortly.

Tools Needed/Helpful:
-Impact socket
-Impact gun
-19mm wrench
-17mm wrench
-12mm wrench (remove coilovers)
-Jack
-Jack stands
-PB Blaster (break the 20 year old bolts)
-WD40 (lube bolts, etc. for easy install)

Where I work...


Take off the wheels to get to the goodies


Remove front bolt on arm


Remove rear bolt on arm


Coilover removed to get out arm



Stock arm


New Megan Racing RUCA


Installed and adjusted to stock


Buddy JT came over to help and chill & then we hit Double T..."I'm Joe's bumper."

 

Lower!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Welcome man


I really like you car. Looks good.

 

my tires are very slim so it makes it look higher but that thing is so low in person trust me.

thanks

 

You and I have the exact same suspension setup. Stance coilovers and Megan RUCAs. By the way, you don't need to completley remove the coilover to get the stock arms out, there is enough give to get them out with the coils in place.

 

cool cuz I have a question bout it: how do you adjust the Megan's. When I put them on I adjusted them to stock but do I just get the hub to raise or lower and adjust the arm once its in proper position?

and yea I wasn't sure if they were going to make it or not and it was a lot easier with them out cuz those bolts were PITA!

 

Pics of the roof being painted...

Socializing w/ my buddy Justin's MKIII lol


Before


Me


Prepping & Primer (My first time)



Started painting (Gun was a little dirty and cheapy but did the job well enough for me)



After

 

looks good like that..i want to do it to mine

 

car looks good, love the wheels

oh yeah, not going to clear coat the top? or you going for that flat blck look?

its just me but i like the pignose better...

 

yea I think it really sets it off and feel like they should come stock like that.

naw wasn't concerned about clear...advance has ****ty clear but the paint is decent and I like the flat look and I kept the pignose for drifting I personally like my new bumper better

 

yeah i usually buy my paint from car quest paint stores...

it looks good for you first time, when it comes to clear coat you want a good one so they last instead of flaking off and fading. keep up the good work

 

yeah...i like the flat look also

and txsileighty..i with ya dude!!! LONG LIVE THE PIG!!! hahaha

 

ive always wanted to do the red with black roof paint job, but my car is black so there is a lot of red to paint unlike the cars that are red and only have to paint the top...LOL...im too lazy and cheap right now....besides im too busy prepin for deployment

 

clean car man. Maybe a little lower?

 

thanks everybody and no im not going lower...I already scrape everywhere and barely make bumps at school I love it though
