I just put a nice fresh coat of wax on her today. I think she's feeling quite comfortable in her new home.

17 or 18 wheels. Springs/shocks for a firmer ride.

It all depends on what you want. Not much for the go-fast mods...

I agree, I would tackle the suspension first. You'll lose some of the silky-smooth ride, but that body lean in corners is annoying.

I wish the steering could be tightened up a little. It gives ok feedback, but I just wish it was a bit less boosted.

I agree about the body lean. You have to take the corners pretty slow or risk throwing passengers out of their seats. As for the steering, won't a simple power-steering pulley change do the trick? Not sure exactly how that works...

Throw on a front strut bar -- i feel almost no body roll when taking turns now...

Do you mean SWAY bar?? I thought strut bars just improved steering response...
