Update:

I receive my tow hitch receiver tomorrow. Looking into the Perrin oil cooler.

I decided to try adding flat washers to the sub-frame mount bolts to add some space between the over-pipe and sway bar. I also filled up on some E85. My 93 tune was just feeling pretty terrible in some spots so I wanted to make sure it was the tune and not something mechanical. It's running great on E85 so I think I'll need to work with Moto-East when I get some time to get my 93 tune ironed out.



Here are the washers I picked up. I'd recommend using two-three of the 1/2" washers per bolt:






A little more clearance:


A little close to the sub-frame but unsure if it's making contact under load:


I threw the stock wheels back on so I can fully clean and treat my wheels with the poor boys sealant:


Driving Impressions:
I'd say about 99% of the contact is gone! I still hear a slight buzzing sound at certain RPMs but not sure if it's the pipe buzzing on something or a gasket failure. Perhaps I can try using three washers or add a thinner one. I'm running two per bolt. The stock tires are funny, that is all.
