O.K. folks, here it is from start to finish:
First you must remove the seam sealer and body tar from the inside corner of the longs. Attached image(s)

The black ovals are tar pieces that cover access holes to the paper air tubes.
This install took about six hours. Why do it? Simple...It makes an instant, noticable differance in all around handling and steering response. Obvious stiffening and strengthening can be had for 18#'s of metal. Take out and leave out the sound deadening matte behind your back pad and it's a three pound investment. The car will stay flatter and turn in smoother in the fast turns. My car does not lift the front wheels anymore. I also added a rear stock sway bar to go with the package. I believe that my car is now very well balanced for me and now I must gain experience to drive it well. No understeer at all to speak of. Oversteer is only present when throttle induced ( the good kind ). Come to Marina and feel the car. Trekkor Hope you enjoyed my little show (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) |
