i still don't see the point of facebook anyway.

anyone who needs to get in touch with me knows how to do so. frankly, if i want someone to know that i am taking a crap, i'll call them up and let them know. or maybe take a pic and send a text message or something.

kids today.....

I agree on the get in touch thing.

I believe Twitter is the common form of letting people know you are taking a crap these days. Gotta stay up with the technology Mikie

there is no way to counterweight the car with stock struts. I would just get an alignment. Maybe ask around about what to ask for for alignment settings.

Exactly. There are no adjustments on the stock struts to balance the car at any corner.

you need height adjustments to be able to corner balance the car, so i don't think you can.

what do you want to optimize the car for? auto-x? road course? daily driver?

i can help you with some tweaks to the alignment settings if you'd like.
