Yes I know what you mean, before rediscovering my passion for car audio, and been single I was in the R/C airplane world. And I got to know lots of people and companies giving me all kind of goodies for the hobby.

Interesting development...

I'm working on a deal for a Whiteline adjustable rear sway bar. That should go nicely with the pro kit drop...

D, do you have sway bars on yours? If so, what is your impression?

Rear Sway Bar!

100% HAPPY!!!

No sway bar?... It's like a SQ system without Time/Alignment,

Improves:

-Cornering like crazy,
-Highway stability x 10
-Cross winds not an issue any more at highway speeds

I'm glad to hear that. I'm looking at buying the lock clamps for the sway bar as well just for the heck of it.

I absolutely love cornering in any vehicle I'm in. If it can't handle, I don't want to drive it. The last couch I drove was a Dodge Challenger. BLECH! That thing was a brick.

You would be surprised on what a Yaris can do with minor suspension upgrades!

...

I gave a demo to a friend today, he used to play in a band...

He's comments:

1.- Great Bass! no rattles, no distortion, I like it.
2.- Sounds like "real"


It was dark, and I turned the dome light switch off so he couldn't see the speakers, he though I had speakers all over the dashboard!

Hey D,

You want me to throw some pics of some of the SQ vehicles from INAC up here?

It turns out after this weekend, HAT has accumulated 140 championships in 6 years over the three major organizations. Seems like you're in good company, eh? :)
