there. i also need to update my pic, i had the side stripes redone so they don't say R1 any more. the previous owner put them on and i have no idea wtf it stood for [&:] the stripes look the same, still break up at the ends, just no R1.

I must ask, what are you trying to accomplish with the rear swaybar, LCA's and Gtrac? (what are you trying to improve specifically?)

pics pics pics when you are done

with a report on their effects to your ride

also, like your paint sheme

AND how do you like the Nitto's? did you always have them?

Nitto's, rims, and graphics came with the car.

i don't run drag much, i mainly do AutoX so that's why i got the suspension components.

first off, the LCA's are to stop wheel hop (or at least decrease it). i get hop with sticky tires and everything else stock already, so it will only get worse when i install the intake/tune. i got adjustable because i plan on lowering at some point in the future and i want to be ready.

the rear sway bar will help keep the rear wheels planted when powering out of a corner. it also reduces understeer, which is a bit of a problem on tight courses.

the G-Trac is a really cheap, simple mod and supposedly tightens up the front end and one guy i talked to his reduced understeer as well.i figure if it doesn't do as much as i'm hoping, it was only $60.

the intake and tune is obvious...
