Re: (stinkypinky1011)
how's the type flex riding for you? it's quite stiff compared to the basics/ss.
i think the flexs are 670 front and 780 rear. and the basics/ss is 340 front and 450 rear.

Re: (oddmut)
car handles like a dream on smooth roads. any imperfection in the road causes mad issues. and mad bump stear. would never put these on a daily driver and or a car that does not wanna hit up a track. but thats just my opinion

Re: (recaroem2)
thanks for the heads up.
I do find the basics stiff enough for basic road handling and the flexs looked delicious but they were double the stiffness so i was like hmmm.
but thanks again!

i also have never seen a cf lip for the 04-05's... If you guys have found a company that makes one please do tell the rest of us ... other than that i dont know why many others claim they're getting a cf lip for their vic when there is no such
btw car looks clean!

Re: the new and improved build thread (recaroem2)
Very nice! I like the new look. Do you have any more pics of the exterior? Those ce28 really set the car off. Hope your swap goes well.
