I actually weighed my car a while back:

you guys spoil your members.. lol
Personally, I find it a lot easier to be nice and helpfully rather than an arrogant douche.

I'll never understand people like that. Every forum has them unfortunately...

For the rest of us, this + management:

Here's hoping I can scrounge up the cash for the kit in the next month or two! I blew my "christmas gift for me" fund on those suspension parts from you and a camcon unit from a month or two ago.

omg yes^^^after my installation with the megan's, it handles like a miata (exaggeration a bit) but lsd i think will help significantly also. inside tire spins way too much. ill definitly do the lsd swap before forced induction, i need to be able to put that power to the road and im already having trying to keep 87hp there...
