Install Meet!

[subterfuge]

Thanks for the great time today everyone!!

Great turn out, lots of fun, and quite a few peices of video footage for the blooper reels.. (note the plural).

Pete. Thanks EVER so much for hosting! Without your hospitality it wouldn't have been nearly as comfortable or fun.

Glad we were able to help pull off what looks like a KILLER clean install of that Rear Strut Brace!!

New front bar is vera nice!!

Smooths out the front end nicely. Front end doesn't jar as much in general driving. Cornering is VERY noticably improved. I took the on ramp to the 401 from Kennedy at nearly 100Kmh (hey! I wasn't speeding! I was merging!! :D ). MUCH reduced body roll.

The only note I would make is that you realy don't get as much feed back from your car to let you know when you're about to become a road-pizza. I immagine that if I ever DO push it to the point where the tires break loose, I will have NO time to recover..

Damn, I can't wait to go for a ride in Pete's car.. :D

A word of caution...after taken Pete's car for a spin around some pretty steep curves at higher speeds...it's true...you gain comfort & agility around the turns...but you lose road feel...felt a little too smooth?? It was like turning my dad's old 1988 Buick Electra...really smooth...but I still say what a bloody difference...

I'm debating on this mod myself

yeah you lose some of the rough road feel...especially noticeable in my neighbourhood where there are many bumps and pot holes. however the feel is a more refined i.e. driving a lexus.

[Prafull Koli]

yeah...more refined...but I don't get why it's lost a bit of sport feel...well...I'll let you know what my ride's like when I get the KYB's...I have the eibach sportline drop, and soon to be on wider tires...s/b very nice..
