Well i did this quit a while back I'm just now getting around to getting the pics developed and put on my computer.
I purchased Neuspeeds Super Cup Kit which is just Koni yellows with Neuspeed race springs, and some Goodridge SS brake lines for my car and installed them last month. After the install i noticed that my car drove almost like it would stock (just a lot lower). But after i drove it down umm a race track of course to test it the difference was instantly noticed. No more letting my side mirrors scrap the ground from body roll. No more excessive understear. It was a whole new car. The brake lines felt a little better i think i might still have some air in there but i tried just hitting them as hard as i could going about 60 and set the low oil pressure light off (just changed oil so not low). The ABS works a lot more smoothly its not as jerky as it once was.
At the next autox there was a lot of tight turns and i noticed that i couldn't get the rear to come out like i used to in the old suspension even after messing with the setting on the shocks. I really needed that with my car since i have a shitty turning ratio and iv just grown accustomed to kicking the rear end around to make up for understear.
My next step was putting on a Progress rear sway bar. Now this is was interesting putting on since it pretty much doesn't bolt on anywhere the same. After some drilling and cussing i finally got the car down and drove it around. Again i really didn't notice too much of a change what i did was probably just in my head. So again i head out to that "race track" and test her out. Took me a while to get used to it but it seems now that if i drive slow the tires squeal like hell but if i go full throttle i grip and pull into the turn. Now this is great news because now i can just power through the turns except after i get up in the higher gears i lose power and i cant power through the turn as fast as i could, the weight levels off and the tires start to squeal again. Other then that problem it works great ill find out Sunday how well she dose at the autox now. I have a solution for the lack of power too but i have the ecu and trany parts on there way so next week that will be fixed hopefully.
Now after that novel here's the picks.
