My evo is still stock, but I've talked with Brad a lot about mods and he's seemed really cool about all of it, and repeatedly says, they'll cover it unless the problem was caused by the mod. Pretty standard stuff.

Oh yeah, and if you buy from Ken Garff downtown, talk to Eric Boisen (salesman). He's a stud and was awesome to work with. And I'd love to get credit for a referral, so drop my name

If Rob does not pick the swaybar up I can make arrangements for someone to pick it up for me.

Did you buy one that was there, or did you order it? If you bought it there, which did you buy? There's an EB for sale there right now.

But yet in your Jetta you just have the k03, not the k03 sport which was added later in 2002.
