Message	Ever since I removed my the car feels much more predictable and I agree with DevilZ the higher horsepower applications gets a little scary when your oversteering in a situation and the Hicas decides to correct and you end up countersteering the other way to fix what the Hicas does. It's ok if you just run it as a touring car, but as I autocross more I am very relieved when I can have more confidence in what my car is going to do. Predictabliity is worth a lot, especially when you are pushing your cars limits. Chopschuey
