Just do a little bit of research Josh. Some are hollow, some solid. Usually anywhere from 25-27mm. You can't go wrong with Whiteline. The front sway doesn't make as dramatic a difference as the rear does. So if anything get the rear. Also you need to drop the front cradle in order to install the front, so a lift is ideal.

Also as mondo stated, the rear endlinks are tiny, get some beefier ones. I've got the whiteline adjustables - Part # KLC174.

So, just out of sheer curiosity, how many people in this thread would be interested in doing a weekend trip down to Asheville, NC to do a drive on Tail of the Dragon and possibly the Blue Ridge Mountain Highway? It would be the weekend of May 13-15.



We would be possibly meeting up with a large group of S2000s from all over the country. I know there are only a couple of months before that date, but I thought it would just be a really good time and opportunity to drive on one of the greatest roads in the country. If we didn't come up with an itinerary of our own, we could simply follow that of the S2000 group - I could also discuss a joint drive with the S2000 group depending on how much interest comes from this region. I'll be extending invites to as many people as I think would be interested and I'd encourage everyone here to do the same.

Let me know what you guys think and if you are interested...should be a bit more entertaining than the usual Waterfront/D&B meet !

anyone in here have one of the intercooler sprayer motors they took off their car. this would obv be evo 8 ppl. My sprayer motor is burned out apparently. i know most ppl think this thing is a wasted feature, and it is sort of, but i had planned to use alcohol in the sprayer.

its not worth buying a new one so if no one has one lying around ill just yank the whole assembly out of the car

no, the cop is just an idiot....


TITLE 75 Section 4524 (e)(1) of the Pennsylvania Common Statutes states that

(1) No person shall drive any motor vehicle with any sun screening device or other material which does not permit a person to see or view the inside of the vehicle through the windshield, side wing or side window of the vehicle.

Note that the law only prohibits tinting which prevents a person from seeing or viewing the inside of the vehicle. It does not prohibit all tinting or tinting below 70%.

The Law therefore implicitly permits any tinting which does not prevent a person from seeing or viewing the inside of the vehicle.

thats stupid.. guess i should have listened and not have got it done i got 20% I guess ill just keep aside $110 incase i get pulled over hah.. my friends have had all 5 of there cars the same 20% tint as mine for couple years and haven't gotten pulled over yet.. and my friend that has a truck has 5% and he's been pulled over many of time but never for tint.. Pretty sure its all luck like everyone else said on the cop that pulls you over...
