Have you been to Montreal lately? I thought we had it worse than you guys, but you're making me doubt myself now. All those orange cones everywhere.

Nope, not with my FR-S.

I feel the factory rust proofing is good enough.

However, if it makes YOU feel better, go for it.

I doubt it will make a difference to YOUR CAR.

Read through this.

If you decide to go ahead anyway do not get Krown!

I installed the perrin rear shifter bushing. Didn't really impress me. TRD's bushing which comes with their quick shifter did better for me

Had a friend install a new Pioneer head unit, sub-woofer, tweeters and amp. And now it sounds worse. Owner's manual is about the size of War and Peace. What the hell was I thinking.

Installed Pedder's SporstRyder Ezifit coils and Sway Bars. (More specifically, @continuecrushing installed Pedder's SportsRyder Ezifit coils onto my car)

Not really any info on these as far as we can tell, so I guess I'm the guinea pig. Coils dropped the car 1" front and rear, sway bars are 21mm and 17.5mm front and rear both adjustable (set to softest at the moment).

Ride is definitely firmer/harsher, looks like Pedders was targeting these for more "sport" performance rather than "street. At speed the ride is much smoother. While I wouldn't say they're very comfortable, the overall ride is tolerable in my opinion.

Kit came with whiteline style camber/caster top hats and camber bolts. We left these bolts as close as we could to 0 degrees so overall they appear to sit around 1-ish degrees negative camber; I'll have them dialed in during the forthcoming alignment.

Pretty solid kit for those looking to lower their car and give it a more sporty feel. We'll see if the kit's firmness remains tolerable over time.

Added the glowshift 3-in-1 gauge (oil temp, pressure, boost). Question: Do you guys know if the electrical boost gauges (vacuum line to black box with a nozzle, wire through firewall to gauge) are zeroed to sea level or ambient? I think I'm about 12 psi ambient where I live...

Mounted the oem armrest in my 86. I'm used to keep both hands on the steering wheel all the time, so it's not increasing my "comfort" in any way. But I like the look
