Just call Safelite or another glass place and have them to it. They won't guarantee that the window won't break but I don't think anywhere guarantee that the glass won't break. But those guys at least have all the right tools and know what they're doing and will get it done a lot quicker than...

Depends on how much you want to do. If you want to save a decent amount of weight without doing too much work or stripping anything out of your car, get some sweet seats and replace the stock lead filled ones. And then depending on what else you want to do with the car, you can save a lot of...

Yeah, that's really not right. In real terms and not just what people think from whatever driving experience they have. Understeer is a stable condition. Oversteer is unstable. Neutral is good, but will never happen. Neutral with limit oversteer is also unstable and even if the driver can...

It sounded like you were implying that it was a bad idea to run wider tires in the front because it will accelerate wear on old stock parts that should've been replaced anyway. I was saying that it's similar to making more power and you will accelerate wear on drivetrain components or other...

That's like saying that making more power is going to wear the drivetrain components quicker.

Maybe it's just me, but those fronts don't look like 275's. They look a little stretched on 9.5" wheels, like more of a 235 or 245 than a 275. But maybe it's just the pictures.

Spring rates for what? Not sway bars?

I will be testing the ST bars when Doward has some time to get them sent out. And the tanabe rear bar is pretty stiff. I still need to look at the numbers a little closer in comparison to different spring rates to figure out what the best setup would be to balance out the car.

Sorry this took longer than expected. I was waiting on some people and things kept getting pushed back on their end and my end. But I have had some people's sway bars for much longer than I anticipated so I spent this afternoon testing them and tonight running the numbers. So here's...

That was from a long time ago. A lot has changed with the car since then. That was on sawblades with stock suspension, it was missing the rear half of the exhaust and the front bumper cover, I think everything else was there. Still had bumper supports and HVAC stuff. I forget how much gas...

What dampers are you running? Some dampers may need different sleeves. I can get all of that stuff. I'm actually putting together my TIP Street setup right now for a guy on here, I will take a bunch of pictures once the springs come in and it's all together. Tim

You're asking for a lot out of a suspension with everything you want to do. But something can be made to work with compromises. I don't think there's anything off the shelf and under $3k that I would buy and be happy with for everything you want to do. A lot of people with coilovers will...

Like Kevin said, there are a couple threads that deal with that. It also depends on what your price range is. Most of the off the shelf coilovers that will go low do not ride very well. As you'll see from most of my posts, I have a problem with common asian valving and how it seems to...

I don't have much experience with GR-2's, but they will probably ride pretty close to stock. The spring rate isn't much stiffer than stock so it shouldn't make the car feel any worse either. I think you'll be fine. But with those springs and those dampers, it probably won't feel that much...

Sounds like he was going a little faster than 20mph. But check everything under the car. Suspension arms, hubs, subframes. If the impact was hard enough to break the spindle and upright and wheel, I'm sure something else got bent. If it's not the arms, it could be in the subframe or...

I would be careful about trying to prove that it's worth more if you're going to try and buy it back. Because the buy it back price might change if they know you have $x invested in the car and those parts are still good. So you could get a higher settlement and a higher buy it back price and...

Aren't q45 tb's about that size? It won't have round spots to use couplers on both sides, so you might need an adapter plate, but i don't think i've seen anything exactly like you're talking about. But I also haven't looked for that. And isn't that something that they used to do on turbo...

Are you kidding? Look down a couple threads in this section.

Black87turbo, I don't think what you're experiencing is wheel hop. Wheel hop is when the back wheels hop under power usually when they have a high slip ratio. It sounds like what you're talking about is force transmissibility from the road to the chassis due to too stiff compression...

Best would depend on what you're doing with the car. I'm not a fan of progressive springs on anything really. On a street car that doesn't really get driven hard, they would be fine though. As for shock, I like Bilsteins and Konis. I would pair these dampers with a spring sleeve and the...
