Just wanna know what suspension mods you've got. Should be in the Suspension forum, but I rarely look in there. And there are always more people browsing in here.

Progress 1.5" springs4.5-4.5 koni yelows (daily)Replicated nismo power braceGhetto subframe spacers29-22 Whiteline ASBTanabe - cusco stbEnergy suspension TC rod LCA bushings

I probably forgot somethings..

Its pretty stiff as I can feel extension cords, and paint on the road, even with the mushy sidewalls of the 712's... But not stiff enough.

So when money permits Im making the solid metal rear bushing kit, and am going to make any sperical part I can. Im planning on boxing in various parts untill then to keep it low-cost..

Just Eibach Pro-Kit springs and a GReddy FSTB for me.

Handles very nicely. :) Going to upgrade to KYB AGX struts and a set of sway bars eventually.

I love that word.

Actually, my car is sloppy in the rear. Blown struts all around + HICAS + fat rear SB = exciting and unpredictable handling around turns.

Short-term plans are PK springs, AGX's, SPL TC rods, Whiteline FSB and replacing whatever g*dd*mned part is clunking around turns and annoying me.

I have stock suspension and I hate the body roll. I also have brand new kumho 711 but, after the indy meet and the autocross, 600 miles later, 65-70% tread left. HAHA. Not a bad tire I only paid 38 a tire. 205-50-15. Nick

I was an idiot and had my settings too soft in the rear which was causing the loose rear end. Now that I got the settings correct I can't be stopped.

You'd be amazed at how much you can learn by running on road corses with your car!
