i'd prolly go with the 18. If the car is an understeering pig (and you can recognize it as such) try fiddling with the alignment, bushings, and endlinks.

paaarty!

I did the same thing. Broken rack bolt. I took it out with a giant drill and put a larger bolt in with a nut on the other side. Wasted about 2 hours on that bastard. It's been fine for 30k now though.

I think a huge part of it is just how engines are now. Port matching, compression bumping, etc just won't provide the gains on a typical modern sedan any more because they're already pretty well set up. That stuff is good for the last ounce, but the last ounce isn't very important to anyone who has ...

sky is the limit for spending on suspension. Question is if you can drive well enough and are in a setting where you can 1)descern a difference 2)tell if the difference is good or bad and 3)need the performance edge. IMHO a reasonably soft and fairly low budget suspension is going to perform just as...

Yes, you can get different inserts for the Black Super. I believe they come with "medium" springs unless specified otherwise upon order. If you weigh 200lbs, you need the firm springs. 220, you need the extra firm. Over 250, get a different fork ;). so cool! Looks like about 20$. How bad ...

Dude, i just got a new mtb too. '06 Marin nail trail . Really dig the hydraulic opposed piston brakes (onefingerstoppingomg!) And wish i could figure out if i can change to a stiffer spring in the fork. My fat ass really makes the front end dive under heavy braking. Already have 2 miles of vertical ...

Why not run wrx agx, wrx springs, and some 20mm bars? That would ride well, maintain a decent ride height, and resist roll. The adjustable shocks + tire pressures should be plenty to fiddle with how the car handles. You could even crank up the shocks when you want it to ride like shit and provide th...

Mechanics' policy of ignoring the owners' theories?

Is there just some tradition of ignoring whatever an owner theorizes about a problem? It seems that every time i need to rely on a pro, i usually know what's going on, and say as much. Every time though, the mechanic comes back to me with a different reason that im experiencing whatever it is, and (...

i also rock some 2.5rs coupe seats. they do not raise your ass (an important factor for me too) but the rake of the seat bottom is more pronouced. I don't wedge my knees under the dash anymore, so im perfectly satisfied with them.
