Re: Brakes, springs, anti sway bar avalible. (cohocarl)

The rear bar is an easy install... But what gets me is that how somebody can make just a rear bar to work off off of the stock front..If the manufacturer did not have a rear bar in the first place that means that the front bar is not as agressive as you would think... So making just a rear bar is no...

Re: First look at Hotchkis' XRS / VIBE sport coils....! (fritzburg)

We designed our coils to work with the stock set-up... That's why we don't go as low as other aftermarket companies... Plus with our agressive spring rates this also helps... But I would definately recomend some type of set up that has a shorter strut / shock package to avoid any douts of bottoming ...

I beleive the initial prototypes were around 2" then we opted for a bit less like a 1.5" and 1.75" and gradually adjusting the spring rate to insure better overall ride comfort... Those wheels are 18" ADVANS.... The cool thing is that the XRS models come with a factory body kit f...
