It's my last year there <undergrad>! hurray! haha.
lol what'd you end up doing? i went to Turnbull for some "Road Testing" w/ coilovers. Handling is slowly getting nicer! I need to isolate the wheel hop problem though... Adam's Time Attack Tuesdays was horrible for me... any throttle during cornering translated to lots of hoppage

When are you going to take your GD3 to a real track?

yeah rolling helped on the canyon but on that small track i couldnt get ANY power down. How hard is it to install the bump steer kit? that's the same as a "roll center adjuster" right? will it require realignment?
oh right i have a $20 rear C-pillar bar but i doubt that helps too much. Im thinking about getting a rear strut bar b/c i rode in the back and while adjusting dampening on the go, i noticed alot of movement from the shocks. handing had alot of understeer at first but i finally had the balls to stiffen up the rear a little more. It went from lots of understeer to almost neutral! really nice!

im kinda the same way. i didnt put on my rear+front sway/strut bars untill i lowered my car and got an alignment.
lol i got it aligned like an hour after install... that hour was agonizing...
i was afraid you'd say RSB... i'm REALLY trying to go against it because of the increased oversteer... i just feel that a FWD car doesn't need to go sideways. if i ever do get one though i'll prolly just get the front one too to balance it out and create flatter cornering

u dont need to rotate in real life situations (daily driving)... lets say ur doing adams... small technical tight corners... in a FWD car u cant swing the car around to rotate into the right direction normally... so a little more sway in the rear lets you do that
