this is very true. most times we stiffen up the suspension given that we are using grippy tires and want to maintain or maximize the camber and toe angle setup and minimize bumpsteer.

ricors just stiffen up everything cause it's race car. :icon17: while running junk tires and they crash into light poles, trees, apartment buildings, stair cases, church signs, people's living rooms, other cars, bystanding deer, off a cliff, over the river, through the woods, grandma's house, taffyapples :tup:, and so on.

Why don't you just cut holes in a piece of fabric and tie the fabric behind your head?
Kinda like this:

hummm... i would probably use that until Fall. :icon17: i only do one oil change per year in the Spring time. :)

do you think I need the aftermarket endlinks? :confused: i thought people were so far 'okay' with it not breaking apart? :confused:

on my G, the rear oem one broke (rattled) after about 3k miles, but then
i bought some oem reinforced ones and they've been problem free. i have
spare aftermarket endlinks just in case, but have not had to swap them
yet after near 28k miles. :p my 9yr old G has 31500miles.

so i 'might' be okay? :confused:

Mr.kenchan, I think you'll be fine with the OEM endlink, I suggest that because I see you've been posting about your worry on the OEM endlink couple times, so I suggest you change to the aftermarket one just to have some peace of mind. :icon17:




:icon18::icon18::icon18:




You need the collar, otherwise the sway bar will shift.

Put it in neutral for a sec. to coast to the turn and SRM rev'd on him right into his window. :rofl2: Oops. Now I look like a punk kid trying to show up the cops.

My car is the first in line in the second picture (in front of pint) and the car with it's hatch open in the garage shots. That was the site of the car show and party that night.

Here's mine at the show and another Houston friend's PERFECT black cherry Z.
