Jen I bet your car would handle like a dream if you added stabilizer bars to the front and back.

Mmm, autox handling.

I don't really know the spring rate but I guess I could look it up. The ride is real close to the stock ride and thats why I like it so much.

Do you ever get any rear end "Hop" while driving over bumps? I've had my 3 hatch for almost 3 months and was looking to install a CAI.I l've been looking at
AEM,Injen,Fujita and SR motor sports. I also looked at a short ram carbon like yours. Is you loud and did you feel a diff. after the install. If it is loud is it "Yo Boy Speed Racer Loud?

I've just been kinda busy with trying to paint the basement at my mom's house and getting it ready for the hardwood floor before my bf and i move in.

I have just been having a hard time to find a grill to fit on the hatch w/o having to modify the bumper as well. so I found that on ebay and bought it for like $99.99 and like $39 for shipping. not too bad bc some places had that same grill for $152 and who knows what shipping would've been. But yes, eventually I will be getting a front lip. I know a guy here that will be painting the grill for me and possibly if I get the lip. I should get it painted at the same time so he'd only have to mix it once, but don't have the money for both. I will get it done one day.
