I agree, Ultra, with an exception that I will note. The stock sway bars are so thin that you could use them for coat hangers. I replaced them with the TRD sway bars and the handling went from very good to exceptional.


My entire upgrade process has been built around two premises: (A) I want to keep the handling characteristics WAYYY inside the safety limits, and (2) I wanted a little more power. Basically, I've reached the point where the car performs fantastically, I have tons of fun with it and the next increment/upgrade is so steep financially that I doubt I will take it. BTW, why would anyone want to lower a car that already scrapes every parking concrete stop and 7-11 curb at the stock height?


Also, since I don't have a car payment (paid cash) I don't need to be concerned with a monthly hit.

More like Floating Topic.
Go back about a year and it really was Off Topic and there were about 5 of us that came here only sporadically.
It now serves more of a Chat function really.

On a related note I am having internet connectivity issues and am getting sick of looking at little circles spinning and pics down loading at 1996 speeds.

You're slowly getting pushed off the forum.

It's funny how things work out. Just yesterday I was talking to my BFF about buying wheels, coilovers or some other stuff. Although I couldn't work out a deal on the KWs, I just found RPF1s w/ tires locally. Maybe I can score those?
