i love how crappy 12 year old highines handle better than most new cars



it brings a smile to my face

 

hehe amen. I miss my Highline. but i now have to drive my dads Sport and it handles a little better. but thats the only plus to his lol

 

ahaha well i'm getting one of spuds old rear R/T sway bars


it's going to handle every better!

 

i had a highline now i have eibach springs and Kyb Gr2 struts and it handles better. now all i have to do is install my eibach sway bars that i have

 

^^^ So you are back home now?

It's almost unreal how rear sway bars improve handling so much.

 

i was home for 2 weeks im back out now i wasent on much while i was home. i have 9 months left here. didnt get a chance to do the sway bar while i was home or the battery relocation. but i got a lot done since i had all the tools i needed the UDP only took me an hour and i had no issues except i didnt know what belts to get. so i went to moderns website and used the belts they said the kit came with as a general idea of what to get. the one i originaly got for the AC and powersteering was to small. but i drove a few days without them and didnt mind it. wife wanted it though so i put one back on there.

 

my sport coupl handels alot different then the wifes expresso.....but the r/t is deffinately gonna handle like a brick around corners...i wouldnt be surprised if it could easily take 35mph curves at like 90

i was checking outthe front suspension the other day with the car still up on jack stands....i weigh about 230lbs and i could jump on the controll arm and it wouldnt even budge

 

I took a 50mph corner at 100 yesterday.Everything was great till my rear end started sliding out.I was able to easily control it though with a little more gas.I have 205/50/15 on the front and 185/70/13 on the back.Might be the reason the back wanted to kick out on me.With all 4 205/50/15's on there..I remember taking a 55mph freeway corner at 115.The civic trying to race me got scared going into corner, and I ended up a good 10 car lengths ahead of him going into 2nd corner at over 120. I dont even remember the tires peeling at all.I tried the same 2 corners with a friend of mine as passenger and was only able to hit first at about 105, and second about 110 because the car was pushing.Amazing the diff a cpl hundred pounds makes on corners.

Im thinking about adding a rear sway bar.I have heard some racers like it more without though....I dunno

 

i happen to like rear sway bars....makes the car feel a little stiffer around corners.....
i was in a fast mood before....faster then usual....and ended up passing a bunch of people right before a curve....i didnt have enough time to slow down and ended up taking a 45mph at about 115mph....the whole car ended up sliding around the corner almost completely sideways.....it scared the hell out of me but i think it scared the people i was passing a little more since they were next to me in the right lane[&:]
lets just say, that was the first and last time i plan on trying that one
