Again lookin sharp (and serious I might add!)

Thanks Adam, when researching the seats I found some red/black JCW Recaro's, they were really nice but no passenger side seat sensor for the air bag, so because 3 of my kid's are under 70 lbs I decided these were not for me .

Now that is cool, what a great solution, those seats are nice , I wish I knew about it last year. I will have to wait though for my 2009 allowance , I will let the other GP owners on the GP website know about it

I posted a walkthrough on m|u if you want to check it out. Quite a bit of work to get these in the car, but I'm very happy with them and they 'work' with the red/black theme of my car inside and out.

bah!

If you have not previously contacted the administrator, do so now to give details of your name, the GP (roof number, etc) you own, location (town, country), etc

I picked the car up from teh dealer today - they reprogrammed the SRS system for me - seat airbags off, but with the OC3/weight sensor on to allow the passenger's airbag to function properly. No dash light now but full SRS systems (except for the ones in the seats that were removed)

Nice

Hi Gary nice setup you have there.

You were saying that you need 8mm spacer to clear your thicker coilover struts right ?

I bought the KW clubsport and cant clear the stock offset.

meaning the rims that should clear is 17x7.5 offset 35 or 34 right?

Anyway with spacers upfront,any difference in handling ?

Thanks

Raf

Yup, hey you are in San Jose right?
Maybe I can let have a rip on the GP to see how it feels.
Been itching to do Mt. Hamilton Run all summer.
