stillen sways
#31
installed the powergrid front adjustable endlinks last night. im not sure,
but it seems about 10mm still too long to be used on the stiff settings.
im at firm on one side, med on the other side to try the intermediate
setting. one side is as short as it can be set, the other side has about
1 winds of thread showing on the turnbuckle.
car felt good in the initial test drive. the car is showing a 5mm preload
when measured at the fender height. will see if that continues after a
couple more drives. the endlinks are free while the links were fed into
the holes so unsure if that uneven height was there from the lowering
springs or not. too lazy to unlink and measure off the ramp.
manual calls out 60lbs/ft on the endlink nuts. damn.... i tightened mine
as far as i can go under the car on ramps. i think 45 at best using my
combination wrench while holding the hex key. lol

i remeasured the ride height out on the driveway and the height was
within 2mm so i wanted to note that it's probably not the powergrids
causing preload (can't go any shorter), rather my garage floor might
not be completely flat.
from the drive this morning while the tires were cold i could make the
front end slighly understeer into a turn while abruptly cutting off
throttle in mid-turn, so this is good. i had zero VDC noise.
after the tires are warmed up the car behaves very well. the posture
on the front is even better than where i had it so i was .
nice upgrade for your stillen bars. i think the rear is fine at med while
using the stock endlinks.
