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.

RE: JUST ORDERED FIRST PERFORMANCE MODS!!!
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?

RE: JUST ORDERED FIRST PERFORMANCE MODS!!!
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...
