A tow hitch on a GS :'( lol I was joking with the salesman when I bought my car about not being able to tow with it and he said "you would be surprised what I've seen tow hitches on" as we were sitting 5ft away from an LFA ��
yeah it drove fine ill tell you that much with my 4x8 trailer. didn't have any trouble accelerating or breaking. I took it for a test run last Saturday.

LOL! they were VIP Modulars VR11, white face, 24k Hardware, and chrome lip. I sold them too because i test fitted with tires and there was no way i can do the setup i want on 20's without have to go over with oversized fenders. i have to go with 19's.

but yeah still in the search for rare wheels again. i like to be unique. and since everyone in their civic and had modulars at Import Alliance i said EFFFFF That! SOLD! lol

well I sold them before I can go white face. they were just silver

Alright, so its been a minute since I've worked on my GS so I decided to post a review on an item that I found quit interesting after the install.

I was experiencing quite uncomfortable steering around corners during regular driving due to the wobble at low speeds so I figured I would order and try out FIGS Engineering's polyurethane lower control arm bushings and I must say I am hella happy with this purchase. its definitely something I should've bought at the same time I purchased my camber kits and springs.





after the installation I drove around to see what the outcome was and I will say this with confidence that it has dramatically decreased the vibrations and wobble at low speeds, Significantly increased response to steering (as in when you need to avoid potholes =) ), definitely improves the wobble at braking, and definitely solves a weird lean around a corner. I don't want to say that the wobble is completely gone however, it is very faint and not noticeable to another driver like before. and when I mean faint I mean very very very faint.

so to those who do not have these bushings yet I suggest you try them if you have the wobble. im on Tanabe DF210 springs incase u ask.

Nice build!

I think it's normal to feel a wobble in an AWD 3GS, I feel a slight vibration in our car and the suspension is totally stock!.

The AVS Visors look great!
