can't wait to see the new mod in action, whether it be autocross or any event.

You guys are light years ahead of me in the suspension area so stop patronizing me!!!!! This was a move that was warranted because you all are just laughing at my car's handling being the new-kid-on-the-block and all I'm just trying to keep up.

That lock is nice.

This goes back to our general meeting for sources and such that we need to hold for ALL to benefit but I'm most happy to let all know this info because it took a little patience but the wait was worth it:

RalliTek is in Oregon. It cost about $18.00 to ship via UPS ground to Carson, CA <Triple-B freight forwarders> there is a Triple-B office in the Bay area but I opted for L.A. because my original plan was to consolidate parts and ship as a whole to save $$$$

I had them ship to Guam and took 1-week cost me about $60 and change. It's a fairly sizeable box and not too heavy. I think it would have made it USPS but my original plans to consolidate didn't pan out <my issue>. My first parts order was consolidated and the experience was effortless almost. Triple-B is super easy to deal with and I like that, painless

yeah, but...you got LOCTITE!!

Dude I was robbed $6.75 for that tiny darn 20-oz. tube I've now shaved 2-seconds from my average lap times because of LOCTITE! you should get some too!

Yes, pleasing results I admit! Even with my oldest boy sitting shot-gun the car felt very predictable; I just have to worry about my blind-side tire placement <trying too hard to cut close and nipping that 2nd darn slalom cone >

Now I feel the limits of the tires and can address it with a few tricks up my sleeve. Thus far I've kept all factors the same with the exception of the sway-bars. After experiencing the feedback they give me and the reduced body-roll I've got to increase front axle traction/bite during tight corners.

Low cost things I'm hoping will net me marginally quicker lap times by focusing on driving a smooth line....I love these Dunlop DIREZZAs!!!! I eventually need to move my powerband a touch northward to pull like a freight train in higher rev range & I think I know just the trick

Sway bars, end-links, & polyurethane sway bar bushings are holding up very well. I'm used to how these bars control the body roll and I'd say that overall I'm fairly happy with them. Only reason I'm not ecstatic about them is that I wish I had an option to adjust the rear bar stiffer but these are the non-adjustable set. Really good product though. Top notch manufacturing, customer service from RalliTek, and so far a great buy

If someone is in the market for a set of stiffer non-adjustable sway bars talk to me, PM, text, call!

I may consider a nice sale price so I can move on to something more aggressive to get more adjustability out of the suspension to suit my needs.
