Default HOT DAMN! Defcons are SO MONEY!

I have to say I was sodamn skeptical at first. I really didn't see the benefit and didn't think I'd bother. I'm really a low-end modder (I don't even have a rear seat delete! haha) so I figured the butt dyno would show nada.

Boy howdy was I wrong. Only other suspension mod is H&R w/Koni Sports. Car was tight, steering was fine to me.. nothing really prompted me to do the install.

The mod is SO worth the money it's not even funny. I wrote this to Mike after I got back from my brake pad bedding in tonight:

"Initial impressions of the defcons while doing bedding of the brake pads was
that the car drives FLAT! Like no body roll and the steering was opposite of
what I expected. It is SO easy to steer and drives like it is on rails..
input is quick and precise and all the sloppyness is gone. I thought it
would be tough to steer but it seems even easier than stock. Can't wait to
get it out on the track!"

Is that only the fronts? Did you go Poly? Less body roll sure gets my attention!

Yup, only the fronts. Didn't do the poly, just the standard "OEM" bushings.
