Oh hey.
Installed my Spec 3 Exhaust and DME Chip. It's loud, it's smelly, it crackles and pops, it's awesome. The exhaust itself is a pile of trash though. Terrible welds, poorly fitting, and cheaply made. Oh well, it was only $300. I have a week off before Pitt Race so I think I'm going to tear my car apart and remove the sound deadening and delete the AC components if possible. Does anyone know a good place to get dry ice around Tysons?
On non M E36 cars, the sway bar end links attach to the control arm. On the M cars, they use a smaller sway bar, but attach the links to the strut housing. This effectively is stiffer than the larger bar mounted to control arms. My Bilstein shocks have the tab to mount my front sway bar links to it and I already have the thickest E36 sway bar (sport 22.5 mm). The car doesn't oversteer presently, if anything, it understeers, so that would probably make it worse right? The car rolls a lot of dives hard in the front and I'd like to remedy that with a something while I save up for the actual Spec 3 suspension.
