      yes, your ability.

      GC is the best bang for buck IMO. Custom valved konis ftw.

                      haha i've gone out on a few rainy days but brand new tires (very soft compund), 4x4 status and not being used to pavement was interesting haha i definitely need seat time, but i obviously want my car somewhat more capable than stock, which is why i posted this. i will definitely have plenty of seat time this summer :D

                        but honest question, are JOM's a fair compromise, or are they just street coilovers that people use for slammage? (does anyone drift on them?) i've read so many mixed reviews on them, lets hear it from a drifter's perspective haha

                            ^ Yes / no, and if so, not for very long.



                            For sways try a large-as-possible bar in the rear with a smaller (or no) bar in the front.

                              Whats the next one you're going to? I'm instructing at the beginner's clinic on 3/3/12 and I'm also running a $40 ODS day the following week.

                              JOMs are shit shit shit shit shit. Even for slamming your car they don't work that well. It's one step up from cutting your springs.
