Just something I noticed for people's view towards modding....

Zak: "I found it on ebay"
Colin: "I saw it"
Gabe: "I was drunk"
Julian: "It was a necessary upgrade"
Jason: "It won't give me more power"

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

Now I get your avatar thread post.

Dave and all at Altered, don't take it the wrong way, but Julian's quote has to be imortalized for posterity.

somebody at the meet had a magazine with an article on a new coilover setup that was adjustable like the Tein EDFC but was also speed sensitive. I can't remember who made them or even what magazine it was in. anybody know what I'm talking about???

I don't know if it's what your talking about or not but B+G has some speed sensetive coilovers for the WRX, those might be it.

I just got to glance at the magazine but the Tanabe setup had some sort of speed sensor and maybe height adjustment on the fly? couldn't find much on it with a quick Google.

Anybody have an opinion on the adjustable air suspension for WRX's by Praxis? I know they're pricy, just interested in hearing how well they perform.

Or should this go in the Suspension forum? :D

I wanted the Praxis until I read all the trouble that Sport Compact Car had with it... :( so much for having your cake and eating it too.


back on topic: has anybody got their dyno chart via email from AA?

Just remember, all that nice trickery comes at a cost: weight!

The EDFC doesn't seem to add much, but some of these units get hefty!

It was the guy with the blue 06 sti. I don't remember his name, but he was talking about the Tanabe setup.
