Today I put in new HKS coilcovers in the front so it is about 1 inch lower now then the rear.. For some reason my damn KA is being super weird and now it stalls like crazy.. Just about every time I stop, it'd stall... What do you guys think its wrong?.. It shouldn't matter too much that everything is angled now.. Right??..

I am installing the coilcovers in the rear tomorrow.. Hopefully it'll make a difference..

My rear passenger brake is also being weird, but I know this has nothing to do with the angle of the car.. It almost seems like the caliper is completely shut, but only sometimes, and it'd make sort of a pumping almost like air leaking kind of noise when it is clamped down.. And today, my whole brake system just failed on me, the brake padel just won't push down, it felt like I had drum brakes.. What do you guys think the problem is there? *sigh* Stupid car..

Sounds like you have a hydrolic leak in your brake system. Check for brake fluid around the calipers, inspect rubber and hard lines for any breaks, make sure everything is tightend.

The angle of your car should have nothing to do with how the motor runs. Check vaccume lines and make sure everything on your intake is secure.

good luck with figuring this stuff out.

Thanks a lot.. For the advice.. I am just confused because my engine never had stalled on me before when it wasn't at an angle...
