Message Continuing the PSA's for the evening:

I recently installed a set of Specialty-Z subframe spacers into my car, which is a ~120K (I think - odo issues) 90TT.

The good: Wheelhop was 100% eliminated. On any surface I tried, WOT in 1st gear simply meant two black stripes on the ground. Impressive power-down, really. Even my C5 would wheelhop occasionally, and it actually *has* a rear suspension ;-)

Plus, it removed a bit of that "disconnected" feeling the rear-end of the car has. A lot more positivity from the rear-end of the car after the install, which was welcome.

However, there was a pretty darn significant increase in interior road noise transmission, even at low speeds. Enough so that I decided to remove them for the sake of day-to-day comfort.

So: For those that don't drive your car as often, or take the car to the track, It's a no-brainer $60 to install them, and it takes longer to get the car on stands than it does to R&R the parts.

Cheerio!
