The shift lever is backwards from what it should be. I use the paddles because it's faster than taking my hand off the wheel.

Sorry I meant the benefit of staying lower in the camber curve and the detriment of increasing the outside tire load are not necessarily in proportion. I think in the case of the Z it's better to...

But not necessarily in proportion. Which is way adding a stiffer sway bar to the front of certain vehicles like the Z and M3 is a good solution to reduce understeer.

It also has to do with camber curve. If the camber curve can't keep up with the body roll then you need to reduce body roll. Plus excessive bodyroll is just harder to control.

I feel like the Eibach bar is enough for the street. My next upgrade will probably be dampers instead of a stiffer bar. Then again I've never ran the Hotchkis.

I averaged 29.8 mpg over a 200 mile trip yesterday. I think my average speed was around 74 mph. I usually get 18 mpg during my daily commute.

I just added the Eibach front sway bar, set to the stiffest setting and it's perfect for a daily. It feels like how it should have came from the factory.

Any bottom mount seats that sit lower than stock?

Anyone know of bottom mount seat setup that sit lower than stock?

Alternatively, does anyone know of a cheap decent reclining seat with side mounts?


Sorry for the multiple seat threads.
