Re: Got My list installed

The performance bar is the rod just below the inner and outer tie rods, you can see it in the wheel well, DX didn't come with them only EX and LX, pics will be posted today.

yes stock shocks, kindof ran low on cash so, i just got lowering springs, it would have been another 900 dollars for the coil overs i wanted.

As for the sway bar, im fairly new to the autox game so i didnt know until after my first event that i want my *** end to wip out., so im putting the EX sway bar back on.

Re: Got My list installed

honestly, if you're new to autox, then you should have just gotten some wider rims and nice tires and have some fun. with all the mods you did, they probably bumped you way up in class with other cars that make you less competitive with.

also, it makes no sense that you skimpped out on shocks and got all the other stuff you did. you should really learn how your car handles the way it is first, then modify it (piece by piece) when you're able to out drive the car.

Re: Got My list installed

Hey, nice mod list, almost the setup I used to have on my 7thgen, except I upgraded the shocks too, and I recommend you do it too, also get some good tires, that'll make a huge difference! just curious, whats the point of the moog tie rods? They make any difference?

Re: Got My list installed

All that upgrade and still on stock shocks, that should have been first on you list. But at least is coming along nicely.
