What do you mean by sloppy? Is it loose or does it just wander around? Can you get the rearend to come around quickly?

They work well. Good ride quality and the grip is amazing.

I will let you drive this weekend to show you. It is just a feeling of the back end lagging slightly. Like in a series of switchbacks, it holds the road well but it feels like the back end is lagging slightly...

You may be noticing the understeer now that you have sticky tires. I have my bar set to max and I still would like it to be stiffer.

Steve, I did not win the auction Someone was just willing to pay too much for a used exhaust kit. I think they paid $565 shipped. I try to go by the half price for a used part. I believe I saw them for $665 shipped, a while back.

I hate it when that happens.

Steve: The 4 control arms don't help at all? I would like to have more oversteer as well... What do you think we could do?

Have you guys heard any good or bad news about the new pro mini strut tower brace? If it is good, I think I might buy it with no wait for a titanium colored one. Plus, it is only $152.

I'm sure they help some, but I like to be able to drive the car with the rearend. Maybe we wait for the new Megan bar of pay the high price of the H-Sport Race bar.

Lowest I see now is $695.00, shipped. $565 is still too much for a used exhaust.

I was going to buy the pro mini bar, until I saw the M7.
