due to the heavy rain fall we have had this weekend i turned my cai into a wai. didnt like running on the interstate in other peopls wake very well. lots of water in the intake. ordered my ddm tuning 8ks, vacuumed the interior. called it a day. tomorrow im removing the radio for warentee reasons, also going to inspect my rear sway bar bushings for a clunk concern. its either those and/or the strut tops. probably strut tops though..

I noticed that the front end was tighter and steering feel is better.

I have the same setup as Rusty, plus my car came with the aluminum control arms, so i just had them cleaned up and powdercoated, plus the poly bushings from moog, big difference with just the bushings.
