to bad your not local. my plx even on the winter 15's handles like a raped ape. my weak point is def the tire's now. i need to get my swirlys back on there with my 225's.

I loved the way the probe handled! When I had just started dating my girlfriend about 3 and a half years ago, I decided to take a sharp right at about 40... She was wearing her seatbelt, and still ended up in my lap!
I wish I was nearer to you, It seems that you have some pretty cool cars!

Hey awesome! Someone who ran a DIY sleeve kit! How did it ride with the 250/200 spring rates? Thats the rates I'll be going with, people say the fronts may be too weak? Stock spring rate is like 160lbs lol...so im not sure.

Only difference between our setups will be that i'm using tokico blues in the rear and fitting 93+ probe Illuminas in the front

I think the spring rates are perfect for a street car that does some canyon carving and such. I am still using this setup on my dark green daily GT, and I still love it.

suspension techniques kit

i recently bought the ST sway bar kit for my BG. I was able to put the rear bar on the car like a ring on a finger. It came with instructions however, im completely lost on how the front bar is gonna go on. i checked on ST's site the product range and ive got the correct set. anybody that has the same ST kit, can u help me out?

you can search on how to install the front helper bar...there's lots of info...

I have the Susp. Tech. front "helper bar" and rear bar, The car has absolutely ZERO understeer, the car actually has a light hint of oversteer but I have to REALLLLY throw it into the turn for that to happen, but its as close to neutral handling as I could ask for!

this is my setup on my 323.
zx2 front sway bar,
EGT rear sway bar,
gtx front strut bar,
rear ebay strut bar with upgraded mount so it wont flex.
intrax spring with kyb
energy suspension front control arm, front and rear way bar kit and other brand rear control arm bushing.

runing 205/45r16 i'm happy the way the car handle, i have a lot of fun in solo racing.

nice, glad to hear. I actually have Energy Suspension LCA & trailing arm bushings in the mail lol. All i'm missing is an engine....dammit...haha.

Just to drive the point home; I have researched alot about the suspension on my MX-3 (I know, not the same, but similar), and have neutral handling with alot of tinkering. Another guy got neutral handling by actually removing the front swaybar.
I recommend solid endlinks for the rear. I could see if they guy who made mine would make more. I have mine adjusted to have a little twist tension on the swaybar, to compensate for driver weight.

[FE3-323]

pictures of your endlinks please^^^

[Fowljesse]

Here you go




I used the original metal endlink protector dealie.



They were made by a guy on MX-3.com. You'd basically buy the spherical joints 2 with normal threads, and 2 with reverse, and then machine a long nut to have reverse, and normal threads that meet in the middle. You'll need reverse and normal nuts, too.
Between these, the stronger swaybar, Poly bushings, strutbars, and adjustable lower tiebar, the car loses traction an all wheels, equally :D It's very predictable.
If you're interested, there are some interesting things in my worklog, to say the least. It's a poor man's innovative build.

Here's a link to the group buy with pictures:

mx-3 swaybars are completely different...we use endlinks instead of droplinks, my Addco rear bar came with all new poly bushings and hardware anyways.

Yeah right. I think it is really cool. It is better that you should date your girlfriend in a place that is romantic together with your romantic car. :D
