Dumb question, but can colder weather decrease the handling of your car. I feel like I used to be able to take turns better when it was warmer out. Tires are obviously affected, but I'm talking about the suspension and what not.

Yep. Bushings are a lot stiffer. Fluid in the shocks and struts are stiffer also. Air pressure in your tires is slightly lower. Road surfaces are cold so traction is a lot worse.

I think if someone NEEDS instructions to install that, they shouldn't be allowed to walk among us unsupervised

True, I guess I just want my part to be presented as professional as possible, and I had fun drawing the pictures.

I'm on my phone. If I want to see more than just a .5x.5" of your picture then I have to OPEN it. You know? touch it so it can expand?? And I don't know who Paul was talking about. I must have missed it.
