Title: Subframes!!
Post by: fordguy545 on September 01, 2008, 05:09:19 PM

subframes are on and launch control works. Sadly it only makes 5 psi at 4000, 4 at 3500. I was really hoping for at least 10 :( I used 2x2 tubing and was afraid it would be really noticeable, but it really isnt too bad at all

I'm just glad they arent all that visible. That was one of my fears. I havent noticed any different handling or anything else. I guess my car is still very stiff and solid even before these.

What springs are you on? It looks low to me. I like it.

stock springs. I'd like to go lower, but don't want it to ride like ass, but this height really doesnt bother me either. I got some swaybars on order for it now. I autocross it regularly, and am hoping for a 12 sec pass in the 1/4
pics of autox- BTW: thats BHazard in the pass seat, lol

I was just trying to get it to idle right at that point. I think I got that fixed, but still really hunts for the idle spot:mad: I closed it and put it on the floor in the back before the run:D
