according to steeda, they will give only the 94-98 stangs the 10% better turning radius, but the stiffer bushings and low friction ball joints is an improvement to all of them
I havent been able to install them yet, because we havent had enough time to do it all in one sitting

Hey Arin, here's the pics I promised. Sorry it took so long. Had to get the oil changed too and today was the first chance I got. The exhaust is kinda dirty from all the rain last week. Havent had a chance to clean the car up. The tips are stainless steel and look good when clean. You can see on the mufflers and pipes coming from the mufflers that it definitely scrapes. No leaks and everything is still in one piece.

Stiffer bushings, lower friction ball joint. for 94-98s improved turning radius. As soon as I put em on I'll let you all know how much they help for the feel/drivability of the car and if I deem them worth the money or not. I guess I'm the guinea pig lol
ive only heard good thigns about them, so i expect them to be worthwhile

Sigh..
speeding ticket today, my first one ever and its full of irony..
Every thursday I get out of class at 6:20 in the heart of San Francisco. usually on thursdays there is a robotics meeting at my old high school, where i still volunteer and help out as a mentor, teaching CAD software stuff and the like.
6:20 is right about when traffic starts to build up in SF. by 7:00 its usually cleared up mostly, but 7:00 is when I need to be in Redwood City for the meetings. Suffice to say, Arin usually hauls *** and makes it there juuuuuust on time
back to today. today, the robotics meeting was canceled. Arin was driving at a much more leisurely pace, for the most part. I was trying to pass someone about 2 exits from the final one, and i did not see the cruiser on the side of the freeway until late. i started braking, but i knew not to brake after i passed the cop, since then hed know i knew i was speeding. so i stopped braking just before passing him, and i was still going around 70ish. turns out that didnt matter, sicne he got me before i even saw him at 85 (65mph zone)
so yeah, speeding ticket. on the plus side, he was a very nice officer (unlike the one that gave me the rolling stop ticket back in HS) and he also lowered the speed to 80 so i can go to traffic school.
still, thats like saying "i got punched in the face today. but I only lost one tooth"; its still less than good.
oh well, thats life i guess. grr... it just HAD to be the ONE day im not hauling *** the whole way home.
