WJM Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 Good Palm Subday to the USMB!! Rise and shine to see what Im cooking this morning! In reference to this here thread... http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=13852 Ok...it seems to hold the road fine....but no way does it hold in even a slighly uneven corner, altho it is fun. Since the suspension travel has been almost eliminated...it will lift the inside rear tire up, and wheel spin, then out of the corner, slam it down. WHAM. Otherwise, when its actually got all 4 down, its...well....feels like one of those computer cars that you have way too low and stiff...except mine is too high! With it that high...it has lost its front camber, going from -3, back to about -0.5...so ive blue'ed up the outside edges of the tires! The interstate dips are not great....airborn fun. But its really rough when you only have the stock seat and seat belt, you come right out fo those. Anyhow, as you will see from the pictures comming up shortly....ive got something that should be better than the first yellow springs. Got them yesterday...!
