I'm looking for all-around ride quality for mostly street-driven car, rarely track driven. I just don't care for the stock ride height. How do these compare to the X73?

Does the rear-wiper motor come out from the engine compartment(looks tight), or inside the car behind the rear seats?
PSS9 if mostly street, thats all you need! the wiper motor is inside all the way to the back, you have to remove the rear molding if I can remember.
very easy though! Eric will send you instructions.....tom

1. PSS9's?
2. RWD conversion?
3. Computer chip GIAC? or UMW?
4. Hybrid k16/k24's?
5. 19's ?

Also, rear wiper delete is in the mail from Eric @ bumperplugs. Does this come with instructions, how hard is it to remove the rear wiper and motor?

I can't seem to upload any pics....
I would put a radar detector in there somewhere. Driving these cars around the speed limit has been very difficult.

1. lower it with JIC... PSS9 will give you problems if you slam it
2. Get more rubber on 19's
3. Exhaust and intake.
4. GIAC stage 2 or go Stage 5 with K24s and add intercoller if you have a fat wallet...
5. Aerodynamic enhancements like a new tail and front lip... go nuts with body kits if your wallet is still fat enough.

First thing to do is exhaust because these things are just too darn quiet stock. As fas as suspension KW/JIC/JRZ/MOTON all good choices PSS9's only if you never want to track it. Evoms or Protomotive for engine tuning.

Congrats!

Thanks guys for all the info. Are JIC's priced comparably to PSS9's? I know motons are big money, not going that far on the suspension. Just want to drop it down and tighten it up a little.

I am looking at getting a turbo soon, most likely buying in June. I'd like to get together and check out the Vegas tt's to see what I'm getting myself into!

i just did my rear wiper delete this past weekend. super easy. the little plastic cover on the bottom of the wiper comes off and you undo the nut.

then inside the car, undo the back panel right under the rear window, it just snaps out. then take out the sound deadening material. then you just undo three nuts on the motor assembly, one is in the back a little hard to get to. then you unclip the power cable and the whole thing just slides out.

saves about 4 pounds but looks way better!
