Oh yes. I love coming home from work, and seeing a nice box sitting in my living room! Saturday I'll be installing the rear sway. Should be pretty tight. I'm kinda stoked now. Wish I could go put it on tomorrow, but I gotta work
. Oh well. Hope all goes well with the install! I'll take some pics of me doing some TIGHT cornering after it's done!

Going to install it all the way up. The tighter the better. More oversteer?

Good luck! Make sure you read up on the 2k1 RSB install because it seems to be slightly different than for the 2k's.

I lowered the car even further after that picture on my site. It was 4.5 before, but now it could be 4 or even in the higher 3's.

Measure from the lowest point on your front lip and see what you get. I measured my drop vs. mingo's stock height and there was a 2" difference. Again, that was before I lowered it even further.

OH HELL YEAH!

Well, I finally got the RSB on. OH MAN! I love this Mod! The difference is like night and day. I took her out on a SERIOUS hell ride. The car handles like a CHAMP now. I love oversteer! I totally went to this empty parking lot, and cut the wheel all the way, and totally just mashed the gas pedal. It was SO tight, doing circles in the parking lot! The back end literally just swung around while the front tires were in the same spot. I love the RSB. EVERYONE needs to have a RSB! It's a MUST!

Paul's Stillen Installation notes were a huge help too!

Excellent review! Congrats again. Would've been cool to get some of that parking lot footage.

Hehehe, oh, I have

Yeah, sometime this week, I'm going to really open her up. Maybe go down to Skyline Drive. That would be the PERRRFECT place to really test the handling.

Springs... yes...springs.... especially what Kevs got, then you'll be having some fun.

So when's your coilover project going to be finished? I'm sure a lot of us are waiting for them. So what are you waiting for? Get a move on it!!!

LoL, I read that article this morning at work. Metro will probably be shut down this weekend. This article, PLUS Fast And Furious coming out this weekend. Don't think you'll catch me at New Carrollton this weekend! HAhaahah

Yeah, it seems to be too much of a coincidence that the article came out a few days before the Fast and Furious release. But yeah, stay away from New Carrolton for a few weeks at least....

I am about 25 miles or so from New Carrolton. I work on the other side off of I-270 in Gaithersburg. MD is a nice place, but traffic sucks during the weekdays

Yeah, I put the FSTB on first. Didn't really notice a difference in handling, other than steering response. But the FSTB and RSB combo is NICE! I think im gonna go with the RSTB, then possibly lower the car. I dunno. I think I have a good amount of handling. Now it's time to make her go FAAAAAASSSSSTTTTTEEEERRRRRR! You guys were right. Once you start modding the car, you can't stop. It's an addiction! A very expensive one at that.
