I was not trying to lower it b/c I wanted it "dropped"... I was looking more in
the SAFTEY MARKET (only about 2 inches to lower center of gravity).
Our new V doesn't seem to hug the road like the old one... plus the feeling and
horrid memory or rolling a V.. I get vervous when I feel the car move to the
left or right.....

we got another V b/c we like hondas (had four leases)... saved my life... nice
4wd (hugs road good) <

Don't get mad at me Ryan but if you rolled your V...it's because you
pushed your V's limits. Of course I don't know the whole story of the
roll over but there's still limits for every car and suv in the handling
department. You can even roll over a lowered high performance import or
domestic vehicle whether factory or custom built if you push it. And I
don't think my '00 V's steering is loose. My old truck's steering was
tight because it had no power steering (mid 80's import mini pickup) and
I had to steer with 31 x 10.50 BF Goodrich All Terrain TAs.

im not mad... I just wanted to emphasize that it was for saftey and not
sport....

Yes I pushed the limits... on accident. very long story..... most people dont
beleive me(I get that a lot with my age. lol, funny but it sucks)

I did notice a big differene between the steering on the two..

I beleive this car is the "lemon" b/c it has less than 4k miles.. and is going
back to the dealer for its second problem.. (noise coming from back shocks)

I wouldn't be surprised if we have the car that had a switch on it.....



I love talking cars... more learing that talking... I dont know a lot.. but i
love to learn.. so if I say somthing that doesn't make sense.. just ask.

I believe you Ryan. Being my age (40's) sucks in this day and age.
Maybe it's b/c most of the employees where I work at are in their late
teens...early twenties and basically remind me of my age (in humor) all
of the time. And yet they come to me for help b/c of my age. Kinda of
a "double edge sword" thing. Damned if I do... I like that you're
willing to learn. I feel you'll be learning for the rest of your life.
I hope I didn't come on like I know everything automotive to everyone in
the group. Far from it. I speak only from experience. I want to
learn, too. Knowledge is power. Knowledge...not bombs will destroy
the enemy in this new war (but while we're there...). Sorry for
momentary lapse of patriotism folks.

try upgrading your shocks to like bilsteins or the cheaper tokikos.
strut bar (front) will help in tight turns- neuspeed. it worked on mine
and felt so much better.
