Madwi: pop the helper spring out and push the pin back in
Me: Pin doesn't fit
Madwi: It takes 15 minutes!

2 hours later...

Me: I had to sand down the pin to fit back in
Madwi: Da hell?
Me: It fits finally

I'm told Hotchkis or bust. And only looking for the front bar. But I'm sure any aftermarket bar is an upgrade over OEM :driving:

I do do (Lol... I said dodo) all my own fluids... except AT. Much like your MB, I can't read the temp sensor and I'm not guessing.

Somebody tossed out a perfectly good mattress. ¡¿Por que¿¡

Get the Eibach, it's a great bar. I believe the Stillen is the softest aftermarket bar and the Hotchkis the stiffest. Eibach slots right inbetween. They sell just the front too. I had this on my Z before I sold it. I left it on the "soft" setting for regular driving but would switch it over to "stiff" every once in awhile for a back road run. really helped the understeer.

Can't go wrong with either, both will be better than stock!

Spoiler arrived. $130 well spent imo. Quality is perfect. I don't give a shart if it's abs plastic. Nobody will ever know looking at it. This car is expensive to mod when it shouldn't be.

ChaseZ 06-29-2017 10:41 PM

I think Mr Madwi needs boost before sway bars lol ;)

It was a difficult choice to not use $7K for boost vs. down payment on the Fit :icon17:

That's extra money i can throw towards Disney, car payments, video games, etc. If it looks and acts the same as OEM for 1/5th the cost... I know which option I'll take.
