I'm in for a group buy but it'd have to be soon. I'll end up buying in the next few weeks either way.

I gotta say, I'm getting sick of flailing around on two wheels (with the slip light on) every time I take a 90 degree turn from a stopsign at > 20% throttle, or hit the gas on less severe curves at low speeds. Never had that happen with my old Jetta TDI, may it RiP. This will really make that much of a diff?

I never get the slip light when taking corners fast..road conditions? I know in the winter i slip due to the sand. These will make a big difference in fast cornering. Normal driving you won't notice it. I

You might be right.. they throw buckets of sand on the roads around here and I've only had my g35 for 2 months now. I'm sure my Yokohamas don't help either- they're so cupped they could pass for the paddles on a steamboat.

Why are they cupped? Did you get an alignment?

*I* did but the previous owner apparently hadn't for a long time or had curbed the sucker. Plus I've heard Yokos are famous for that.

I doubt it... the RWD sways have been out forever and they are still over $300... seen them for $325 or so.

Just save up longer. It's totally worth it.

How'd you guys get the nuts on the end links off in the front? I've soaked it in PB Blast and tried going at it with a socket/ratchet but still can't break it loose. I'm on ramps too, so not much room for a breaker bar. I can't fit my impact driver in there either.

Do you have to have two wrenches? One to hold the nut in between and one to break the outer one loose?

I heard they are a total pain to take off. Luckily, I had a friend of a friend who works at a shop take care of it for me, so I can't help you there.

You have to hold the other end of it with an open-ended wrench, otherwise it'll just keep spinning and you'll never get anything loose.
