Yeah, I don't want to check into it. There are better things I should do with my money. I don't need encouragement in this area. I need to stay focused on finishing the wagon and then maybe getting an Elise. Anything mechanical that sits is asking for problems.
Midnight in a Perfect World on Amazon or order anywhere. The first book in a quartet chronicling the rise of a man from angry criminal to philanthropist. Midnight... is a distopic noirish novel featuring 'Duchess', a modified 1990 Subaru Legacy wagon.

I'll find out more today. PDM Racing will drop the ride height by 12mm back to standard.

It was set higher because I get out on some back roads during the summer, and with almost 8 inches of clearance it felt like a small SUV. :?

Will also check out the vibration that started this thread. :roll:

Vibration was due to an uneven build up of pad material on the front discs.

Some 4 or 5 firm braking shots from about 80mph followed by a good cooling :-)
