Also drives much better obviously and handles spot on(everyday road use) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nothing extreme though. I guess with the coilovers they design in compensation for the lack of camber adj the FGs have std.Do the XAs have adjustments for camber and caster?Would mean they become even better value for money compared to spring/shock replacements and adding caster/camber kits.

The Teins needed tweeking several times to find the sweet spot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
