and Then he found out the chicks dig it!

I basically threw the keys to my x at Kracka and let him flog it at the dyno day. With the slight changes, these cars are a hoot, but stock these cars are not setup out of the box like they should be and can be a bit dissapointing if you were a previous evo owner. For less then $500, which includes tune, alignment, and rear swaybar mods really wake this car up to what a evo should be.

What are the specs of your alignment? I know you showed me the sheet, but I forgot. I plan to get it aligned within the next week or two (had the 1-year unlimited plan from NTB on my IX and it's transferable).

From JAG:
Camber F = -2.5 deg
Toe F = -.19 deg
Caster = 4.0 deg
Camber R = -1.5 deg
Toe R = 0 deg

You may want to try maybe slighty less rear camber. The front is actually perfect for DD use with no unusual wear patterns. The 2.5 degress toe was obtained using a bottle jack on the spindle while tightening the flipped strut bolts.

I am also running a perrin rear sway bar with the endlinks set in the middle position on the sway bar. MAP sold me the bar for $169.00.

+1. The bolts that they send with it are a little annoying but it's a very nice mod that's cake to install.

Definitely easy. I installed a Cobb rear bar on a local X MR (stock springs) and it took me a total of 10 minutes to drop the stock bar and install the Cobb bar.

Pulling the exhaust is pretty much all the time spent on it.

The Swifts are certainly the most popular.

This was with the stock exhaust, luckily clearance was great.
