they are all sensible, they are all in a good price bracket :) and they are all 20% off the listed price for you boys :).


Sorry Taylor I didn't even see this until now as I am updating my thread with the end results! I can say that I definitely noticed the difference of the LCA bushes after I got my wheels aligned - boy what a difference! So much more direct and nice feedback from the road into my palms. With the addition of the 21mm Cusco rear sway bar, the whole car just feels tighter and more flat through the corners. Haven't really had an opportunity to test this beyond mundane road speeds thanks to the CEL over the weekend, but so far really happy with the current set up :mrgreen:

To be pushing it to the point of being tail-happy, I'd have to be going pretty damn hard through the twisties :lol:

Haha, I actually tried to show off to my brother by taking a 90 degree turn WAY too fast in 3rd, massive understeer, then foot off the throttle, then a bit of oversteer before I got it straight again.... :alcoholic: :roll:

Needless to say I will be learning the handling limits of my car incrementally :lol:

What are the HD mounts someone mentioned earlier? I want to look into these!

I'll use the Cusco HD mounts as an example. The HD mounts go over the existing swaybar mounts to reinforce the mount itself. Without it & with the use of a stiffer (aftermarket) swaybar, the additional force now being put on that mount may be too much causing it to break. Hence, we upgrade to HD mounts.
