True, but also a lot more expensive.

Thank you, it's getting somewhere.

Looks good man. Wouldn't mind seeing it a smidge lower, its quite an aggressive stretch.

Thank you, and I agree.
The tires are too small, I will get some meatier tires and fine adjust the height. Camber is way off as well. This was just a rough adjustment to see where I'm at.

Haven't received the new front struts with helper springs yet. I think they will arrive sometime in January.

Time for an update. I got a Focal front speaker set form my gf this christmas and a few days later i started installing them. I was a little unsure if I should connect the crossover to the tweeter/midrange or the woofers in the doors so I started googling. And it seems the Harman Kardon ampl does not like aftermarket speakers ( think the speaker differs from 2,3 and 4 ohm). Sooo, I had to do a little more shopping. Here is the list:

- Focal PS 130F (front)
- Focal PS 165F (rear)
- Polk Audio DB692 (as subwoofers)
- Alpine PDR-V75 5-channel amplifier
- Cables, fuses etc.
- Eonon 6150 head unit

I didn't take many pictures as most of these are rather boring, but here are a few. As usual I try to make everything look OEM and clean.

Bought "blanking plates" from CSL to have a clean start for the tweeters. Cut a hole and glued the tweeters into it.


Front speakers and adaptor rings installed. Also a little insulation to prevent vibrations.


Wrapped the door trim when the door cards were removed. Not sure if I really like the brushed alu. Might change to gloss black later.



Polk DB692 vs original. Chose these due to magnet size and they go down to 30hz. I know a subwoofer alone would be better, but I just want clearer nicer sound and not playing very loud.




Forgot pictures of the rear speaker but they were a pain in the ass to install. 6,5" spakers barely fit. Barely. New speaker wires and signal cables were also run.

Prepared everything for the air cups while waiting for the new front struts.

New frame for the Eonon head unit, USB for charging my phone and switch for the air cups.


Compressor, relay and gauge installed.


Made a frame for the amp and the air cups switch, with insulation underneath.


The result:




Hoses are run to the front wheel wells so I'm ready for the new front struts to arrive.
