Great way to improve handling.

So I just finished a great mod & cheap too.
How to make your car handle better in several easy steps.
I removed ,cut/grinded & reinstalled my springs.
It's exceptional now!
Also as an added bonus the torque dip has vanished!

Highly recommended.

I lost two of the bolts for the top hat on one of mine. I used wood glue, seems to be holding. Will update.

Dude. Salsa goes with HP not torque. Let's not confuse the two things.

The method works on minivans as well. You can probably get it down to a 3 second vehicle.

I was unable to check the HP increase as my OBDII was stuck the other day &
to remove it, I used a hammer & chisel. My apologies.

Best mod is seat time.

At the bar in Olga's Liver Ripper.
You'll be able to convince yourself of almost anything.
There's even a ceiling fan.

You're all a bunch of idiots. Just install the uxcell F1-Z Double Turbine Turbo Charger Air Intake Gas Fuel Saver Fan for Car. Only 17.69 with free shipping on Amazon. "This mounting will help to improve the low speed car torque, enhance the air flow. Facilitate the gasoline engine room more fully burning, throttle feel more light more flexible. Still can rise to fuel-efficient role, fuel-efficient rate at 5%-15% above, regardless of vehicles, convenient installation"

Mic drop.

I prefer to remove the springs. Perfect tuck, no bounce.
