I had Powerflex inserts for the two upper mounts and a series of different poly mounts, and was noticing a thunk starting to develop again under load.
Replaced all three with a set of Vibra-Technics, and have been mostly ok with it so far. Certainly more NVH than stock, maybe slightly reduced...
It has been a couple years since I got the coilovers, so I'm going off memory, but there was just some very slight rubbing if I'd hit a bump mid corner (we have horrible parking lots here).
The bigger issue for me was scraping my lower two point brace on speed bumps- somebody decided to put some...
oh, for the winter I have some studded Nokians on 15" steelies- tire shops get slammed during spring and fall, so I just swap on the appropriate wheel and tire- it just takes 10 minutes in the garage.
I have Continetal DWSs on the stock wheels for shoulder seasons and for dailying in the...
It was pretty low- it was new in the first picture in this thread, here is a little later that summer. The 15" wheels and tires do leave a bigger gap in the arches than it does with the stock 17s, and I think it settled a smidge as well.
That is pretty odd, I wouldn't expect much rollover at that kind of pressure (although i have no experience with the new Bridgestones. One thing you might want to check is if your tire gauge is still accurate, but that's about all I could think of.
Another vote here for studded Hakkas- I daily my FiST year round, and they are great tires. I used to swap out the coils, but that was a pain so I just leave them on all year now.
It has been an interesting winter.
I agree autocross is probably the easiest, safest way to find the limits of the these cars and refine driving skills at the same time.
EDIT: Unless you're in some sort of emergency situation, there really aren't any cases where the FiST's handling will bite you on the street. They're...
This is a constant matter of discussion up here in Alaska. When I was growing up, our cars were carbureted, so they would literally barely run when it was cold enough- you could put it into gear and it would likely stall. Since then, fuel injection happened, and cars are much better at running...
