Stupid Windows
Does anyone else hate how slow the windows are when you're rolling all four up at the same time, seems like it takes forever. Is there anyway to fix this? Grounding kit possibly?

it can be like the time there was big puddle on the other side of traffic and I was stuck at the light and here comes this truck. Even though I reacted fairly quick, I got soaked by that nasty water. =X

Don't roll up all four at one time, not cause it will make it faster. If you roll up four at one time there is a chance you will blow a fuse. Plus I just roll down my front windows to save time.

It's one of the things that differentiate a high-performance buyer from a lifestyle buyer. IME, most seem to fall into the latter category.

I have cranks in my RS.

Spray the window tracks with silicone lubricant and clean the tracks with a terry cloth to remove all dirt and gunk from the window track. They should go back to being just as fast as when you got the car. This is just like all the regular maintenance you normally do on your Evo. Oil changes,lube door hinges,door locks. ETC.
