Elliot, this should clear things up a little... Stu's car was one of the first, and still one of the best.

This is just a battle you're not going to win, buddy. If I were you, I would just drop it now.
The S50 is an ///M motor, 3.0 or 3.2 liters, and makes anywhere from 240 to 320ish hp in various trims. Looking at those specs, it's probably well into the 300hp range...

Battle? Josh we are talking about suspensions, i have a shitty ricey one aparently. Does that call for a Ban? Or should i put my stock setup back on and wrap my car around a tree?
