    No really, just one more. That is all "Modding Anonymous" will allow after you enter the 9 step program program. :cornut:

    Glad you found out the dealer screwed the pooch on their mis-alignment job. Enjoy your new found handling Jim. :Thumbsup:

    Glad you are fixed Jim. I am 6 days away from my springs being put on (can't wait!).
    Wasn't planning on doing camber plates either, so hopefully the shop knows what they are doing. I have confidence in them, so I'm not worried :Thumbsup:

    So get back on that modding wagon Jim!!!!! :devil:

    You will love the springs. Did you up grade the sway bar too? Now that everything is right again, I had a very spirited dive home and forgot all about the State Trooper who likes to lurk that road, which might not have been a good thing. These little cars car lure you into trouble it seems. :Thumbsup:

    Yep, did the sway bar at the Dragon. I'm going to have them set it to the stiffer setting while it's in for the springs :ihih:

    Gonna live on the edge are ya? :lol:

    Actually I have been thinking about that too, so tell me what you think of the difference it makes. I'm seriously thinking about the "X" brace to complete the set up, but think I'll pass on the exhaust and the under panels (for now anyway). :Thumbsup:

    I will let you know. I really haven't noticed much difference with the new swaybar on, being on the soft setting.
    Let me know about the X brace..... I'm curious.

    The exhaust is next for me. The list goes on from there :crazy:

    X Brace is a hoot, nice bang for the buck

    If you have nothing upfront sway bar wise it will be very noticeable. I added one to a existing JCW front swaybar and thought it was a nice addition

    Are you sure you are in the "soft" position? Mine is in the middle and WMW said that they set all of them there unless told otherwise. I'm guessing you had Helix do yours.

    Yes, there is only 2 spots. I told them to put it on the soft setting. I didn't know how different it would be, and being at the dragon, I didn't want to learn how to drive a completely different-handling car :wink:

    That is exactly what I ended up doing and I was making some long test drives before I hit the Dragon. My sway bar has three holes.

    You do realize that with just two holes on the end of the swaybar you actually have 3 firmness settings....:cornut:

    Holes 1&1
    Holes 1&2
    Holes 2&2

    I did not know that. So, would the three hole have six?
