Only brand of front control arms i've found to be adjustable and heard tons of great reviews. give mark at SC&C a call and he will educate you more then you may want but he really is the man when it comes...

    Turn signal

    Im no expert but i'd imagine with the use of signals and any lights that there would be a very slight change in voltage. how much of a drop are you seeing?

    Where can I find this part??

    Thanks, that is what i was thinking too. Any idea if there is a similar OEM product that would work like the one above? Ive seen plenty of the jounce bars and such but really looking to put some stability in the front end. would be nice if we could have upper strut bars like the ricers!! The...

    Windshield Tinted

    Georgia DOT (yes DOT, not police) gave a friend of mine a $1,500 fine for tinting his windshield (think it was like 40 or 50%) now, there is this "newer" stuff going around called ceramic tint. some shops have it in 70% up to 100% (totally clear) it helps reflect the UV rays and it is hard...

    Subwoofer box sliding around

    mine is actually the sa10 not 8 but yes, for such small subs they do provide just enough bass to make me happy (wish my 65 yr old father would let me put a sub in his MC or vette!) the new x series by sundown are sure to be a big hit, pun intended... im very impressed with them considering...
