I’ve heard that ideally you want your track bar parallel with the rear axle. Any angle deviating from parallelism can cause instability while driving over bumps. I might buy the springs then buy the track bar relocation later if I don’t like the way it performs. Just curious on others’ experience
Did you need to install the track bar relocation kit from Dr. KDSS? I’ve seen some people say the track bar relocation mount helps with stability over bumps
Do they feel stiff?
I’ve got 5100s on mine and at first I felt like they were too stiff. I’m happy with them but wish it was a little softer sometimes.
Hey Cam, I see you’re from the world of tuning Subarus! Just out of curiosity, how does your tuned Tacoma compare to a stock WRX STI? I know the Tacoma won’t put up impressive 1/4 miles or 0-60s but does it pull pretty hard?
No regrets with mine. 20,000 miles so far, no issues. Rev hang is a bit strong but you get used to it. I drive stop and go traffic everyday and it doesn’t bother me at all. Also getting 21 mpg avg on 33s.
I’ve had the AWE Exhaust on for 8,000 miles on my 6MT and can confirm there is basically zero drone. I’ve cruised at 60, 70, 80, and 90 mph and at the worst, it’s a little hum but the drone cancelling resonator basically eliminates any annoying vibrations.
I’ve got the AWE exhaust on my 6 speed and I love it. Paired with the SXTH Element intake, it makes cool turbo sounds and occasionally pops during upshift. Makes driving a lot more enjoyable. Additionally, the AWE exhaust does NOT drone. All the benefits with no annoying drone.
I tried...
My transmission did something similar. I had to go into neutral again before it would smoothly engage 1st. After 4-5000 miles the issue went away. I think it’s part of the transmission getting broken in.
How much boost pressure is the engine producing after installing the module? How much psi more than stock? Are you guys able to determine that the engine can safely sustain the increased pressure?
