your suspension system looks pretty well built.. bilstein sports, h&r race springs, adjustable sway bar end links, and ST sway bars? if they are, they must be the old ones as theirs aint green no more... get that flowmaster mounted already!! i wanna hear how she growls...

i dont think the trailing arms bend much. i think the sway bar end link mounts just rip off. those things are pretty flimsy. welded reinforcements are always required with fat bars..

do you got any city streets around where you live? ie, lots of pot holes, speed bumps, and steep sidewalks.. you have a similar suspension setup to what i want. hows it feel on normal freeways and in the rain?

well the rain has prevented me from really get pics or videos... cause i dont want to get shit yet...
but the way i ran the pipe was i bought the U of pipe... and went from the resonator back... chopping and welding the peices back together, worked out prety well, but at the moment its dropping down a bit... so imma have to work on the hanging system, yes im using the stock cat, but soon enough i will be building from the manifold back in all 2.5 inch piping, and i connected the pipe to the muffler with one of those butt joint connectors... for easy muffler removal, no tip yet but im looking for like a 3 inch oval tip i think that would look sweet
as for the trailing arms, they sent some plates with the kit... you can sorta see it that shiney peice... it just increases the area that is under preasure, it worked out great ive been driving it lots and it hasnt bent in the least.
and yeah i Live in vancouver BC... lots of roads in horrible condition... and its a good feel... firm but nothing rediculous... Ive been in a e30 M3 with a suspension kit and it was like a rock... wasnt nice
along highways its super nice to not have any body roll or anything like that so it gives you alot of confidence... and in the rain since i have shitty tires they slip... but it still grips to the road like a beast...
overall for the 1.4 grand i spent on the kit I`d give it a 10 outa 10 for value and performance
the kit just screams at you to haul ass around everything and anything

nice, does the muffler rattle at all against the car, or do you have enough clearance.

denious · « **Reply #26 on:** December 25, 2006, 03:14:05 PM »

We really need sound clips of all the different types available... Everyone's saying different things about Magnaflow, Flowmaster and Glasspack?

nice vid. your car is really nice. you should do a video of your entire car

that glaspack really makes the car sound like a beast, but it might be too loud for my taste.. especially in the city with all the police. nice tho..
