can the front lip be taken off easily????
i mean, can i remove it w/o taking off the bumper like that? or is the entire bumper has to be taken off to do so?
if that's the case... I think i' gotta order a piece of techart type 2 lip...(the little plastic lip)

it's about 8 screws underneath. It will take you no more than 10 minutes to remove. VERY EASY!

Fred,

Good luck with your decision. I wonder, since you were at the shoot out if you heard about the JIC coilovers. By Design ran them in their cab and I rode in that car the other day -- just for a couple of minutes but the car seemed very responsive. Price was compatible with the pss9 and they have a 16 way adjustment. I am also contemplating a suspension upgrade and the impression I got was that unless I was gonna be on the track all the time, I wouldn't need anti-sway bars. If anyone has any info on these, would be interested to hear their input.

tia,

geoff

JIC is basically the CROSS suspension right? Just making sure.

geoff,

I have to say that car does feel quite nice. I drove it around for about 20 minutes on some LA freeways with Micheal in the car just before the Shootout. I asked Cort what he thought and he too said he liked the ride/performance as well. I'm pretty sure they aren't a canister shock so the price should be pretty good. Did you find out how much they are?? I'd really like to get some on the Shock Dyno and see what they look like.
