i never really did post about it so ill do it now...

Any ways, ive been been riding on eibach springs 1" drop and Tokico blues struts for quite some time now. The ride is fantastic and quite responsive.

Since i have 16' LS wheels.. i used to ride on thinner tires... but recently i changed that too... its now a 215/55/16. The tires are much bigger and the ride is softer because of that , but also better in handling because they are bigger. Excellent tread pattern too.. the tires are all high performance all season delta's - a yokohama company....

My fender gaps are very small now.

K&N filter and Borla exhuast... my last fuel milage on the highway was 26 mpg. Excellent for these cars.

Im satisfied with the performance of this vehicle now, considering if it was any faster, and im 20, id prolly get myself in serious trouble... lol. I was a lil dissapointed with the handling when i first had gotten it. But now that ive done these few mods... i love it... Its nothing amazing, but its definetly to a point where its real fun to make turns, and cornering is almost no problem.

one thing though... and this is what i think really explains the dramatic body roll effect. Though the body originally had a significant amount of roll... now that ive dropped it and changed the suspension its gone.. But, there is still that effect. I think that is because of poorly designed seats. They dont hold you at all and just throw you from side to side. I think this just creates that effect of a Huge roll....

ive seen that it really really makes a big difference with a cusioned pad. I have leather seat covers on top of the coach... and now it feels MUCH different....

just thought id share some of my thoughts with you fine people

cheers,

Neil

Try ridin in an ES with cloth-world of difference, and no complaints on my part B) Amazing how an actual "downgrade" in options can make this car seem so much sportier! My car is "stripped" but I wouldn't have it any other way after owning one that was, in comparison, "loaded" ;)
