K20turbo, get the IX SE. In my opinion it is the best of both worlds. Get the aluminum roof off the RS, HIDs which are only available on the MR or SSL package, BBS forged alloy wheels, etc.

You will have to have an alignment, if you are not looking for anything special most shops will be able to get it within factory specs. Much harder when you have certain specs you want them to meet

Can anyone give me a recommendation on a good shop for the alignment? I may also consider having them install the springs while they're at it. Any suggestions would be great. Do I even need to worry about an alignment? TIA
I would suggest Sid's Alignment in Springville. Their rack is super low so they will never mess up body work no matter how low your car is. Anthony down there is the best and has been doing our race alignments for two seasons now. You could take it to like big O or some crappy place like that, but I wouldn't take my own car there. Anthony is good and i think his normal price is only like $60, if i'm not mistaken. Sid's number is: 801.489.3253. Ask for Anthony and tell him Erich sent you.

I dont think that he installs springs, but I know another guy here in Orem that does, and would be good. Lmk, and i'll shoot you over his info.

Sweet. The IX SE sounds cool, i didn't know it had the alum roof, thats sweet. HIDs are just bling tho...lol. Thats 20 pounds i dont need over my front wheels.

Munoa: dont worry, i'm sure next time it will be me spinning!!

Thanks. That sounds like a good option. Anyone know of anything farther North? I live in Davis county and work in downtown SLC so something a bit closer would be more convenient but I will venture south if I need to.

Any recomendations?
Sweet site man, like the pics. I noticed you have the samco intcooler hoses. How do you like them? I'm getting them for christmas. I think i'll t-bolt them all upon install. Do they make a big difference? I guess at worst they will not balloon up like the stockers.

That is so dumb that HID's are an option on the IX, didnt all the VIII's come with HID's?

Yes there were standard equipment on the VIII's besides the RS. If you drive at night I would not give up my HID headlights, but maybe the projectors on the RS are good too, not sure.

I think if I had July to do over again I would have waited until the SE IX came out then I could have had the HID's that I wanted, lighter aluminun roof, front LSD, no sunroof, and the mivec engine with evo 9 turbo. I think that combo would have been better for what I wanted in my car then getting Scotts car, oh well.

Yeah i got the samco hoses a while ago - it was kind of an impulse buy. Honestly, they don't make much difference except that they dont baloon. If I was going to do it over I would rather get the upper and lower stainless steel IC pipes.

true my rsx has hid's and I love them, I just talked to south coast and they have the IX SE for $29995 thats a pretty good deal. They can ship it for $700 or I could just go pick it up....
