Is it worth it?
Can you make it faster than a 4th gen at the same weight? Has independent rear. Anyone make suspension stuff like Strano does for our cars? WHat brakes can you get on them? |

I believe the rub came from bushings that were damaged in shipping on the boat from Australia. They strapped the cars down so tight, it collapsed the bushings on the tops of the struts. There is a good aftermarket for them, but many of the best speed parts come from Australia.

Check out Pedders for suspension parts. I'd love to have an 05-06 as a toy - make mine Brazen Orange Metallic and a 6 speed. Like Steve91T said above - it's heavy.... |
