Modding... where to start?

Learn how to keep it clean and swirl free! Adamspolishes.com and see "the junkman" in the detailing section. Then...lower it, get spacers and cat back exhaust.

I've seen a couple of posts suggesting that I lower the car. While I appreciate the suggestion, it's my DD and NJ roads are perceptually under construction. (Plus I'm already so paranoid because to me, it seems low already!)

I have the exact same feelings!

There is no freaking way I would lower the Z unless I were to convert it into a track or show car. I am planning on getting KW coilovers and SPL suspension parts next year and absolutely will not lower it.

Are you trying to be amusingly funny with your statement or your dead seriously sarcastic?

I am not clever enough to be funny or sarcastic. The point I was trying to make is that I will be performing expensive upgrades to my suspension for performance reasons (coilovers for the adjustibility and titanium components to reduce unsprung mass), but attempting to keep the stock height. In Colorado I scrape my splitter way too much to lower it any more.

But I guess I will be well prepared to lower it if it ever becomes a track car. The "pickup truck and trailer" mod will have to come first before that.

BTW, after a few weeks the clutch and flywheel upgrade has really done wonders in regard to how much easier and quickly I can get through 1st and 2nd gear. It needs a bit of time to set it apparently. So smoother shifting, but it is pretty noisy when idling. This is the reason why I want to try the RJM adjustable clutch pedal.

Which clutch/flywheel are you running?
