She will thank you for it. My wife usually doesn't comment on my mods. Today she asked what I did with our old car because this one can't be the same one. It is that big of a difference. Park your boat...and see what you've been missing.

Okay kidding (kinda), but it will be cool to have an analysis broken down by component, thanks Slick!

HEMEE got hers for "free". You and I merely waited for the first price break to come along and both jumped on it immediately.

Only I need coilovers, not just springs. Thus I'm waiting for the pending Mopars to be compared to the best KWs to decide on that part of the fix. I had intended to wait till then to install the sway bars so I only had to go in once, but you're having too much fun.

So here I come.

He, he, he...you're not going to believe how flat it will corner. Why DCX doesn't make this an option is beyond me. The bars are worth it alone.

You know, I should be ashamed, and I am, for blaming my procrastination on my wife. If it makes me happy she's happy. I'm sold on the kit and I want it. However I drive so little, no distances in P.R., allways someone in front. Seems a bit like having a dual processor computor for word processing. Hold on, I have a 300c to drive 10 miles a day! Thanks sorbs for solving the practicallity issue for me. Looks like I know what I'm getting for me for 3 King's. Happy holidays!!

hotchkis do it

i just had the sway bars and springs added to my car. unbelievable the difference. not only does it handle better than my g35 did, but it gets the looks from even from other drivers here in snottsdale. of course i also upgraded to 20" wheels and added the borla 3.5 exhaust, which might have something to do with it as well.

Ok, dropped my baby off this morning to have the Hotchis kit installed and I'm already chomping at the bit to get her back and take slowly yet ever gracfully home (Yeah Right).

That Midnight Blue Blaze heading down the 605 and taking corners and light speed will be me.

Well I didn't get a chance to take her home down the freeway last night as it was just to packed so the wife & I took city streets home.

But I wanted to share a right up by OzzieGuy, he and I bought our kits & installs at the same time. His right up is awesome. The few things I was able to notice on my surface STREET ride home right on some of his impressions.

Enjoy !!!
