SFC's installed today...impressions

well i got the stage 1 subframe connectors installed today. I think its nice and all but i havent seen the night and day difference alot of people were claiming. Car seems to be smoother over small bumps but large bumps still feel like large bumps. Car does seem more planted and handles better. Its definetely worth the $170 or whatever the price is tho.

Is it just me, or does SprintMax have a way of demeaning everyone?
I find it amazing that every post u reply to has someway of making fun of someone or making some comment about someone. Not attacking you in anyway, i just think its hilarious. Every post i read, after i go through it, i ask myself, i wonder what comment SprintMax had to say about this one.

Turbo, I believe the "remarkable" comments were made about the stage 2, but you'd have to do a search.

you have to know the history.. Kev, Delio, Chris, NickStam, TurboMax .. and a whole bunch of others use to hang out on Clubmaxima and make fun of each other..

do a search on when someone asks Kev when s he going to the track and see his answer

"when turbomax fixes his car"

I noticed a huge difference in the way my car felt and handled with the SFCs. However if you have low drop of 2"+, then the car is going to crash over large bumps because of super high rate springs and little wheel travel. I've only got Stage I and I see no need for anything higher.

You need to prove that there were 3 Kevs/Kevins. I'm not going to do your dirty work.
