[QUOTE="GT Premi, post: 15654961, member: 121775"] So, it's been a year and 9 months, and I still haven't adjusted my front bar yet. I [i]have[/i] added a Watts link, and it makes the front feel even more "light." I had to find this old thread to remind me what adjustment(s) I need to make. After spending more seat time in my R, it makes my GT500 feel sloppy by comparison, in spite of all the aftermarket suspension bits. It handles with aplomb. It just doesn't inspire great confidence in doing so. (Still worlds better than stock, though!) Where my R is like "Yeah! I got you, buddy! Let's do this, dog!" and probably gives [i]too much[/i] confidence, my GT500 is more like "Here. Hold my beer and watch this." You're [i]kinda[/i] confident it can do what it says, but in reality you're not entirely sure WTF is going to end up happening. I've been thinking about replacing my Eibach Pro Kit springs with some constant rate springs to maybe calm down the sloppy feeling. I'll definitely still be making the sway bar adjustment, though. I have more incentive now than ever. Oh, and I had some lightweight engine mounts installed, and somehow that made the front feel [i]even more[/i] light! It was only a 6 lbs reduction, so there's no way in heck [i]that[/i] would be felt. The installer did mention that when he went to disconnect the k-member, one of the bolts was only hand tight. :eek: Maybe now that everything's cinched down the way it should be, it's flushing out the issue. But I would think a "loose" k-member would've been feeling weird all along... [/QUOTE]
