Post Adrial sure can pack a box

I always worry a bit when I buy stuff that is going to come through the mail but Adrial took care of it. I think the post office thought it was a bomb from the way it looked It really cracked me up when I saw the box.

Thanks Adrial, the Turbo S sway bars did wonders from my car. I placed 2nd in the PCA Germany Auto-X yesterday! Now I just need a strut tower brace!!

That cardboard was the stuff that was used to ship a bath tub to me, so I was hoping it would be strong enough. It's like 1/4" thick. There's about 2/3 a roll of duct tape on that box too..

So, How long did it take you to open it?

2nd place...great job! <img src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" border="0" alt="[cheers]" />

it was easy, I have a big knife

I was really suprised at the difference. How big of an improvement was it going from the Turbo S to 968 M030 sway bars?

Well, I think the best part of going to the 968 bars is the adjustability...the ability to balance the car understeer vs. oversteer.

The reduction of body roll feels fairly significant IMO. I have lots of before and after pictures at autox events...but if they're not at the same point in time at the same corner...you really can't compare.

Somehow, I feel the car is more stable going over bumps mid turn...but I think thats just my mind playing games with me.

Glad you like them Your car is a few hundred lbs lighter...so in theory your sways don't need to be as beefy as say, my 3000lbs tank of a car. <img src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" border="0" alt="[cheers]" />

I wasn't fooled...Ariel wouldn't know what to do with a box even if he had one right in front of him.

If Adrial got a 2nd place, we'd be congradulating Teklord on his 1st place finish
