HOw low do they go? It sucks having a 04 with a crappy after market out there. Good thing the ralli art is getting popular so we can use pretty much anything they make for that car on ours. Cosmetic wise.

Um, yeah- cosmetic wise. Your suspension is totally different from the RA. Your should be the same as the 02/03 guys, who are going through the same issues with ALL mods. Us OZ guys actaully have fewer options for suspension- RRM has a tein basic kit for you, and I think you can use the tein ss adjustable kit, too.

ISnt RRM in socal. Are they the same as RRE? Yeah i know the suspension is way different on the ralliart like wheel size, lugs and the whole thing pretty much. lol oh well. I think that the suspension is the same as the 02 and 03's. Ill look into it because my CAI was for a 02 and it fit on my car perfect.

Leave the cats in boys. Unless you like having your power band shifted almost to the redline, you like to lose torque, you like the tin-can sound, and you like to fill your tank more often- if any of those are the case, then I won't try to stop you. In fact, I'll recommend a 7/8" "line wrench" (looks like a box wrench with grabbers on the end) instead of the sensor socket (which only managed to strip my O2 sensor thank-you-very-much).

Oh, if you have turbo, then straight through will be just fine (in fact better than "catted").
