Very True!!!

Nah dude, you gotta drive it. It's overkill, major overkill.. I have my valving at 3 front and 4 rear; It's MUCH WORSE than when we went to long beach and I had my valving set to 8.. This would probably a 25 LMAO

must be the torsion rear... im still learning the functionality of it.. its alien technology to me.. lol

did some research... progress bar is 22mm? thats huge... my mr2 rear sway (which was pretty beefy) was only 16mm... the popular rear sway was 12.5 mm..

still tho... if its still on the car... try putting the rear to full soft... its something u'd want to do anyway since having no rear sway to having a beefy rear sway switches the handling dynamics to tend to oversteer anyway for daily driving cuz u probably want a more neutral feeling... so softer rear shock setting to compensate for the tendency to oversteer...

*edit* AND something i remember from checking out GD spring rates and GE spring rates is that all of the GD spring rates have WAY stiffer rear spring rates compared to the front... like 2kg/mm front and 4kg/mm rear, while GE rates are about the same front/rear...

Killer recipe I did last night:

1 Chicken cut in half
Marinate chicken in soy sauce and garlic for about 45 minutes. get out your steamer and for the water put in a pince of salt, some ginger, and more garlic. before placing the chicken in the steamer soak quickly in boiling chicken stock for about 10-15 seconds. Place in the steamer with the skin side up.

Rice:
Use some chicken fat(skin is perfect) and reder the oil out of it. Discard the skin/fat pieces and then saute a little garlic in the oil. Then wash and rinse your rice and instead of the water to cook it use chicken broth and pour the redered oil with garlic into the rice cooker also.

Dipping sauce:
If you have any more redered chicken oil use that if nto make some more. Saute garlic, ginder and green onions in it. Pour in some soy sauce and rice wine in. Add a bit of sugar to taste and about a teaspoon of chili garlic paste. Place in bowl to serve with chicken.

Chicken should steam for about 25-30 minutes then you can serve on place with rice and dipping sauce.

Enjoy!

We need to do a Fit caravan to Vegas. I've been meaning to go for about a year now. Hotels are so cheap it's wrong.
