((Installed)) Suspension & All Bars Tomorrow

On my way back home, Super Fun

It's super worth as it's just a $8xx coilover!!!!

Almost no body roll anymore, would be more balance when I get the front strut bar...

Not yet complete the height & soft/hard adjustment....
it's a bit oversteer...when I put the car quite hard.....
may be the rear is too hard

Will do the alignment & adjust the coilover again next week sometime after I put on the new rims.

Holy cow. The laws of physics will no longer apply to you when you turn in your car! Cornering is going to be easier than driving straight! Seriously though, good stuff man, fun times are to had.

If I were you, I'd do one part at a time. It's a lot more enjoyable to feel what each piece is doing.

I'd start with the bracing. Once that is on drive it for a few hours and see what (if any) difference it made. Then I'd put on the rear sway bar (easy, 10 min, no jacking needed). You'll REALLY feel that.

Then, the next day I'd put on the coilovers for the biggest "whoa" change to the car.

Pace yourself man!

An ad hominem argument, also known as argumentum ad hominem (Latin: "argument to the man", "argument against the man") consists of replying to an argument or factual claim by attacking or appealing to a characteristic or belief of the source making the argument or claim, rather than by addressing the substance of the argument or producing evidence against the claim.

yup, thats me........

those 3 blue bars just 60 bucks from ebay...
and one of those is not available in any other brand...
so I would rather pay $60 first to feel how's these $60 cheap bar feel like, instead of buy 3 gt spec at this momnent...

for sure, if it really sucks, i will go for the gt spec one later
