The fender roller in the for sale section is now sold. I don't want to spend 250+ on something that'll only be used once either. It would wind up just be something for me to trip over or something to fall on my head in the garage

We all know that Cincinnati has wonderful smooth roads.
Ride quality is subjective. That said, the better the shock the better the street ride with stiff springs - 12k on a JIC is NOT the same as 12k (or more) on another shock. I have horrible back problems and the PIC's with stiffer spings are definately smoother than my old JIC's.

Greg,

When are you going to put in a front LSD? I am sure that will help those track times a bit.

Brendan....sell you car and shuuush.....j/k

Greg, thanks for the advice on the earlier page. I completely agree with you -- I've been asking that question "what about support if something happens?" Quite frankly no one has been able to give me a straight answer =/

I would like to take a ride in your vehicle (or drive ) to see how those PIC's feel. Any chance we could arrange that?

You can buy 3 for $15 dollars and they all come with crush washers.

And speaking of Mitsubishi, I found out there is a recall on my car -- I wonder why I wasn't notified...

Great, I can have a fire start...

Carter, we can go for a drive sometime. I need to get my LICP fixed first though. I think you will be surprised by the ride.

Yeah 3 for 15 at the dealer. I think their parts deparment is open later than 5. You can call and find out -- heck they'll even hold it for you.

Greg, I have my old LICP piping (I think) if you want some parts of it.
