I think it's a 9psi pulley.

I don't know a whole lot about suspension so I haven't messed with it much. I got hotchkis sways and cusco strut tower bars when I first got sticky tires. I don't want to lower it because I already scrape on stuff too much (I drive in weird places sometimes) and I am not bothered by wheel gap.

What would be a good improvement without lowering?

if money isnt a issue get KWv3's at their max height they are 0.8" drop which is what i have mine set at. which gets rid of some of the gap and being a premium coil over system you maintain the same feeling as OEM

Finally took the time to put my catch can in. It's not pretty, but it is secure on the stock passenger side brace using just a couple of hose clamps.

I have made a lot of incremental changes over time, some bigger than others, but today (in rush hour traffic) it really struck me that this car as a whole is an incredible pleasure to drive. I flashed to rev. 9 of Perrin's Vortech tune last weekend, and it is getting pretty polished. Smooth and burbly in low RPM and roaring under load, there is no lack of power at all. The short length and agility of the car makes it fun to navigate in cramped parking garages or the open road. My Kartboy short throw shifter is effortless to work through the gears even in heavy traffic. All of the parts have come together just right and work in perfect harmony. I feel more connected to this car than any other I have owned.

Thank you FT86club, without this forum and some of its members' advice I wouldn't have this great machine I drive around.
