  1. Tbankyou, that was a good read and some terrific advice to ponder. Much appreciated.
  2. Question regarding removing just the glass window on 05 Leggy GT Wagon with dual moon/sunroof glass. Does anyone have experience removing or replacing just the glass that's broken, particularly the bigger one towards the rear of the car ? Are you required to remove the headliner? It seems when I remove the plastic clips underneath the glass, there seems to be only 4 bolts that hold it down. I can't see the back few inches which are above the retractable headliner. I've seen videos on full unit removal on the web but not just the glass alone without removing the complete headliner if that's possible.
  3. 1) I have full summer tire setup, michelin performance tires. 2) . I know what you mean to some extent(apexing a curve) I'll assume. But we're not talking about racing here, instead just driving through a highway onramp or offramp in most cases. 3) Agreed. Perhaps need to improve shocks to Koni/Swifts as an example instead of current stock setup. Thankyou
  4. I want the car to not push me towards the outside of the curve I'm turning on. So if in fact a larger front sway bar will in fact increase that effect, then no, I won't order one. I don't want to have to fight the wheel or incur greater g-forces pulling me off the line. So perhaps improving my suspension (shocks/springs) would be a better idea, or looking for a bigger rear sway bar if one exists.
  5. So i have a basically stock LGT Wagon except for 20mm rear sway, 18x8's wrapped in 245/40/18's, and just did a performance alignment to max out camber, zero out toe, etc... There's about 50K on stock springs and shocks and they are still in good shape, the miles have been easy on them. So with the current setup, should I be looking to increase the size of the front sway bar from 21 to 24 for example, there don't seem to be any bigger rear sway bars on the market for this car. I've been looking for a Perrin 25mm rear but no luck. I don't want to do coilovers, not in my budget. Drop springs, but only ever so slight were something I was considering, Swift, but with the installation of spacers on both front and back to keep me at or near where I am now. Any opinions on what I can do to improve spirited driving through corners and not be worried that I'm sliding around in my seat or car seems to want to continue through toward the guardrail? Many thanks.
  6. So I mounted a set I just picked up and wow....no rubbing non stock setup. Have hit a few bumps but nothing scraping. Can't believe my good fortune. Thought at least I'd have to go a size down, maybe two. I plan to change springs but not lower. Hoping to pick up some Swifts and then add some spacers to the struts to even me back up ot get me close.
  7. Rehashing this thread. Not to denounce the benefits of the mod, but wouldn't it be just as effective, or possibly more effective to get a solid feel in the cushy damper by just welding a couple of strips of sheet metal to the sides of what looks like the discs squishing the rubber damper together? With a good weld in place, it's probably cheaper and more in line with a completely solid steering damper per STI. I was looking at buying the damper but mechanic recommended this as an option? Any see problems with this? Imput would be appreciated.
  8. I think I'll go with the DW65C. What is the diff between dw65c and dw200? They both seem the same specs. One is a little cheaper? Both seem to be drop in?
  9. I've done some reading but still not clear in regards to options. What would be a reasonably good replacement for a stock pump for 05LGT in price and performance and going to go into the FP cartridge without some form of customization or adaptation? I'm not interested in making any future engine mods and don't want to have to get a tune to use the unit. Looking for plug and play, better quality or performance. And to be able to run with E85 despite the fact I run better grade. Any recommendations would be appreciated.
