I have the factory Nav System does anybody make a install kit to replace the factory tape player so I can put in a cd player going to the trunk to swap cd's is annoying. If not I'll probably just replace the entire unit and sell the nav. If I do replace the nav which climate control would I have to use the standard SE or the GLE. I'm assuming the GLE since it would also have the variouble speed fan resistor stuff inside but how would I keep to factory graphite looking scheme as it looks as the GLE only comes in all black.

Shifter man that thing is sloppy. I bought energy suspension bushing but havn't installed them yet. Anything else to help with the slop I don't really want a short throw setup but stillen sells something. I'm not sure what it is but it's adjustable. What is the stillen kit replacing as their site is pretty poor in that area.

Suspension I know there's a million suspension stickies and threads I don't want to start one of those. Where my question is a little different and I didn't find an answer. First off I've already signed up for the subframe connectors to start with. I don't want a lowered car I would like to either keep my stock springs or something that lowered it less than an inch. What is the advised setup for stock height. I'll also be adding FSTB and still debating on the RSB obviously theres arguments on both sides of that one that I don't want brought up.

 

I'm not really sure about replacing the tape player but I'm sure it can be done if you take it to an audio shop. But about replacing the nav, it's a lot of wiring. IIRC there was a person who did the reverse of what you want to do and even though he had auto climate control in his car already, there was just so much more to it.

I really don't mind it that much at all. I mean, after driving a miata or something it pisses me off a little, but it's decent enough. haha. To stiffen it up, definitely install those ES bushings and make sure to use a lot of white lithium grease wherever there are moving parts (including on the bushings themselves). Also swap out the tranny fluid to some Redline GL-4 and feel will be much improved.

Best thing to do is just replace the struts if you want stock ride height. Get some tokico illuminas and the ride will be a lot better as well as the handling. FSTB you can get for cheap on ebay. They all do the same basic thing and mine has lasted 2 years so far with no problems. As for the RSB, I wouldn't really get one if you don't have some serious stiffening up front (like an LTB). I have an RSB and I took my LTB off due to a fitment issue and now my car has some pretty bad snap oversteer, which isn't good. You could experiment with the illumina settings and see where the most neutral point is, but it'll generally cause oversteer anyway.
If you want to make a big jump in handling, get some H&R springs. Close to stock ride height and worlds better than the stock springs with a similar ride. Or even jump for some coilovers. You can adjust them to stock ride height and boss chens have a very smooth ride. And SFCs are definitely a big jump in the right direction.
