Great info man. Thanks! Sounds like this is what I need to do. I even have a hook up locally that will let me ride with the springs for 1 week. If I don't like them, I can return and only pay install. Sounds like that won't be an issue thanks to you though.

Look forward to seeing some pics and I will check out the comptech, etc. Not familiar with saner? Where can I check that out?

 

got info on Saner from the marketplace forum...good stuff and looks easy to install and adjust. I actually have my Redline on order from them currently.

 

Technically a stiffer rear bar will increase your oversteer problems. If you go to a stiffer front sway bar it will help reduce the oversteer. If that front bar induces understeer, then you can go to a stiffer rear bar.

My Eibach springs with stock shocks have been on for a few weeks, so far so good. They are a little stiffer than stock, but not a harsh ride, just stiffer. The smallest jiggly bumps actually feel a little smoother than stock due to the progressive design of the Eibachs.

The rear on my '03 is about 1/2" higher than the front, I would prefer that it was equal, but at times it isn't even noticeable. I think it has to do with how much fuel I have at the time.



After Eibach Pro Kit:

 

uh...did your car also go from suzuka to silverstone or is the lighting playing tricks with my eyes?

Different lighting, different cameras...same Silverstone paint

 

does that first picture look like Suzuka to anyone else?

please, someone, tell me I'm not insane...otherwise i'll be heading off to the local loony bin tonight.

Ah ha! Notice the black interior...couldn't be Suzuka. Those blue photos were late in the day with my inexpensive digicam, the other ones were taken with proper lighting with a better camera.

 

Yes, if he gets a stiffer sway bar than it will increase over steer, which is the reason for getting a Super super stiff front sway bar to compensate, err over compensate

nvrquit4, what's that silver hole in the left false vent? Is that a duct for the breaks?

 

Okay, I'm sold. Better order this stuff next week.

First of all...THANKS TO EVERYONE for their input.

I do have an STB already and I want to get an X-brace. My thought, unless anyone thinks I should wait, will be to get the springs put on ASAP (posting pics of course!) and then work on getting the x-brace a bit down the road. OR, should I wait and plan on doing both at the same time?

s2ka - how do you like your Spugen exhaust? I have the Invidia. Most days I love it with the silencers in. Daily driver for work, etc. Some times it is a bit too loud though. Weekends....now it's time to pull the baffles out and let the city know who's coming. Fun stuff but hard on the ears at times.
