yeah i was thinking about doing that. notching it and then welded a plate to cover the hole. but i figured its useless since im already rasing the subframe about 15mm which is more than enough to clear, even if bottomed out. i wish BN made shit for this car. hell, atleast someone. current aero for this car is a joke. funny you ask about the kako knuckles. i just got an extra pair to be worked on:
other than that, not much new from yesterday and today... drilled another set of holes in my stock sway bars for adjustability, probably only be putting the rear as stiffer since it understeers as it is for me. then dropped off the rear subframe with the sway bars for powdercoating.
finished the LSD
energy suspension sway bar bushings. NOTE* energy suspensions database for my car is incorrect. factory sway bar diameters: F - 27.2mm R - 21mm
energy suspension database/catalog: F - 27mm (8.5133) R - 23mm (8.5134)
Though the front is .2mm small, it still works. only issued i encountered with it is that the overall height was 2.5mm too tall so i trimmed the bottom. rears i had to return and buy the universal kit, product number 9.5125. i bought these from: http://www.energysuspensionparts.com/ The whole hassle with their database being wrong and for me to be the one losing the money on shipping is really unsatisfactory customer service, i think.
Fitment looks tough! Good to see someone putting in work on one of these. 7Mgte.... sketchy haha. But the R154 looks good..... sell it to me please.
Been running the 7m pretty hard for about 8 months now and its been fine. knock on wood* i still need to get it tuned.

Sick build man. how was it building your lsd? Do you reccomend ther wier max grip kit? Im am looking to build mines before the season starts this year
installation was pretty straight forward. so far i just got the unit back together. On the market right now for some oil, ill let you know how it is after i get my car back together. still waiting on some subframe risers and then i can put the rear end back up so i can drive this thing.
