recently had to replace my bulbs and bought some silverstars before remembering these don't have the greatest reputation. sure enough, 2 months later 1 burned out. for the price....never again. they were installed with gloves on and everything so i know there was no oil on them.

i want some good lighting but i'm not going to try a higher wattage bulb on the stock harness, and it damn sure better last at least a year or more. so, i looked into high quality, uncoated 55W bulbs like the Osram Night Breaker +90's, Phillips Vision Plus +50's, Narva Rangepower +50's and Hella Premium Plus +30's. I came away with the feeling that for the lifespan/price ratio, overall increase in light, and having great experiences with Hella quality, I'm going to snag a set of Hellas from Susquehana Motorsports. we'll see how they do.

also got sick of the stupid daytime running lights so i popped off the glovebox and simply unplugged a connector from the DRL module. can't believe i was do lazy to do this earlier.

once TurnIn Concepts gets their shipment in, i'll finally be able to make the most of my new trailing arms with the rally-spec Group-N front bushing. TIC is doing final testing on their rear trailing arm bushing. once installed together it'll keep the suspension from toeing in under power as well as reducing driveline windup a bit. it should really help keep the car more neutral under power. they're 2-peice too, so i won't need a press which is a plus for my parking-lot workspace.
