The main thing is if it holds at and over 80mph. I would highly recommend getting in touch with Shawn to have the alignment and everything else done. I'm going up there this Saturday with another car

Just wait until you take the car to get a proper alignment, camber adjusted and traction bars adjusted. It will be night and day. Until then it is what it is. Mofobucs told me he was shook after the ride. And he has riden in plenty of 700+whp cars. You guys are welcome to bring the car with us Saturday to get it dialed-in

I just want to express my gratitude again to DC. I took the car down to S&M Trucking (which rocks by the way ) to get the alignment and traction bars squared away and they couldnt stop talking about the quality of the work done on the exhaust and the fuel setup. It is so awsome to be able to go and drive the car when I want and not have to worry about it not working or something going crazy. The guys at DC have and continue to bend over backwards to make sure everything is squared away. I have put almost 500 miles on it since I got it from them and other then my own ingnorance and a tiny heat problem there has been no issue. It drives beutifully and sounds great. I am really happy. Thanks a ton guys I really appreciate it.

I also have to give mad props to alpha and his boys for the tune and advice. He has been a great resource for me and has been there for my car time and time again. You cant go wrong working with folks like these.

I'm glad he took care of your car and you Ryan. He is a top secret JDM suspension guy If you give his location and/or name you will turn up missing

i'm glad the car is meeting you expectations. funny thing is that its got more in it and quite a bit of adjusting to do before it will be 100%.

we'll get it all squared away when you drop it off next week.

thanks again for you business.
