made a mustang call me daddy
Yet another good review of white lines anti lift kit.
I installed the race kit today, so far it is the best investment I have ever made automotive wise.
My friend didn't believe me that it totaly changed how the car acted/reacted so we went out to our favorite playground (subdivision that was constructed 3 years ago.. just the roads, then the land owners ran out of money or something so it has sat as just empty roads all that time).
So we were playing around in there I was working on my shimmy controle and playing with the newly found oversteer when there was a mustang stoped down the road... My friend and i were wondering what he was up to ... turns out he was pully a break torque so i thought fine i will just go around him and not disturb him.. So we zipped past. as soon as we did that he let off the break and started to tail us.
Keep in mind this subdivision roads are all twists and turns , nothing streight for more than about 1/16th of a mile...
so he was tailing us and i decided to play for a bit and just started running the curcit as fast as i could.. after about 2 laps my friend matt said "Holy $hit were loosing him" i finaly looked at my rear view mirror and he was about 2 turns behind us... we stopped and he asked me what i was running for an engine. i told him stock 2.5 n/a. He was shocked that it wasent a wrx.. He said it was realy frustrating every time he would catch up on a streight he would have to slow way down on the turn..
so incredibly long story short the anti lift kit turned my stock suspension (except for the gr2 struts) from the understeering crap box to a realy good handeling thing. I cant wate to get the springs on there and see what else i can get out of it..
By far i think its time for some decent tires and frame stiffiners.
for now on im going to beat the crap out of any one that buys a subaru and buys any upgrade before this!!
