Cheapest I could find. I was really surprised at the price.

Swaybars, Endlinks, and BC Coilovers have arrived! Installation is this friday and allignement is on Saturday. I will be installing everything with a friend of mine! Best of luck to me. I have not ordered the Body Kit yet but will let everyone know once I do! I can't wait to get it but I want to do everything by sections and one step at a time.

So everything was installed except for the front sway bar and the car is alligned! I love it. Car drives great esp when cornering. The car was about 4.5" from the ground and now it's 6.5" and I can get up my driveway and go places that I would usually scratch and scratch no more. Since the front sway bar is a major PITA I will pay my friend to install it at his shop when I get a chance. I have the rear swaybar on medium setting but I might go to the hard setting to see how I like it. I have not had a chance to mess with the dampners yet so everything is set to full soft.

So the next step is my 30k mile service.

I ordered AMSOIL for the oil, oil filter, power steering, brake fluids and anitfreeze. Then I can change my oil with my 15k mile service.

DiaQueen LSD from MAP, Pestosin FFL-2(DiaQueen SSTF-1) saved me $110 getting if from RAI motorsports then getting the OEM, SSP Reusable Filter, Cabin air filter, drive belt, injen air filter and filter shield.

Once that all comes in then it's time do do the 30k mile service.

I will be ordering the wide body kit soon. Be patient, all this cost money to do. Current body kit is all messed up due to how low the car was and how it was installed. So I can't wait to get this done and of course the borla exhaust.

Mine's not an evo but I love the ralliart. No way, do I want to change to an evo. I like being different and thats where the ralliart shines! On the other hand, I love the rotor glow color.

As another rotor glow Ralliart owner, it's great to see someone on here doing a build on a rotor glow ralliart. It helps me picture what I want to do with mine. Keep up the good work, its looking great.

Thanks and welcome to the Rotor Glow. I love the color...

I'm doing the full service soon and I will check all the how to's and things like that. I will add what I used here as a link and if anyone want any specific pictures let me know. I might do it this weekend of the next. All I need to order is the DiaQueen LSD but I also want to order the whiteline KDT909 Rear Diff Bushing. Need to call MAP because they would be the cheapest since most people charge like $20-30 for the shipping, the only thing is that they don't have the KDT909 on the website.

I still have the front sway bar to get installed. Need to contact my friend who is a mechnic and see if he is able to do it. Might drive by his shop today.

Ok, I'm just putting this out there because it gets me very upset when I see the following. "Man, I could have bought an X or GSR for the amount of money I spent on the mods for the ralliart."

I don't know about everyone else, but if your modding your ralliart, you will likely mod any of the other car. So, just to let you know, if you mod your air intake you that will most likely mod it on the X or GSR and so forth. So you still save money of the difference of the cars and maybe some of the mod parts, depending on what you get. I got the ralliart and I love it. I know if I had any other sports car I would be doing the same exact thing!!!

I called MAP and talked to Chris and the LSD and the KDT909 came out to $145 shipped. I'm always trying to get a deal somewhere. Almost everywhere else I found for those 2 would have came out to $160+

This might sound funny, but whenever I have a hard time visualizing what I'm trying to do, I refer back to this one (really helpful for MIVEC):
