I recently installed a Whiteline rear sway bar and Energy Suspension front endlinks.. Just for the heck of it, here is a video of a practice run down my local canyon ("touge" for those JDM guys). I couldnt go my fullest, because I was still trying to learn the new handling characteristics of my box. BTW I also have Tein coilovers.

Here it is.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLAknb_iH-0

Edit: Here are some updated vids. A little faster and my car control and line are better.

nice vid, close call about 1 min in. Where did you get the end links?

Theres a huge post about the energy suspension endlink bushings somewhere in the suspension and handling section. You buy the bushings and washers at AutoZone and then you buy the bolt and lock nuts at a hardware store.

Lol yea I did almost crash right at 1:06 or so. Thats a challenging corner, but good thing its all empty dirt right there.

Big_Bird

nice vid dude. yeah i got scared when you started to lose it at 1:10.

How do you like the whiteline? i got the progress and i guess it's good for everyone else, but I need more back there. Im thining of adding both.

wish i lived in cali or az, switchbacks steal my heart.

@Big_Bird: The whiteline is amazing. My car handles like a drift car or something, except without the RWD. My car is now almost perfectly balanced.

And I hought I was the only one who "togue's" their xb! You need to come down to So. Cal., I'll show you some great canyons to run!

see that yellow line in the middle of the road??? try staying to the right of it sometime, you crested a ton of blind hills and blind corners on the wrong side of the road. Makes no sense to straighten out a curvy road...this is one of those situations where late apex's are your friend.

bB384. u hit up Goat Mountain Ranch?(secret name) ? if u do never seen any xB's there

TJ

Mt wilson observatory canyon in pasadena comes to mind ... FUNNN!!!

BlangKang

streetlethalxb

why are the downhill runs removed?

BlangKang

looks like the first 3 were but if you click on the first link he posted it will take you to number 4, then in you tube you can watch number 5.

cool vids dude. is your local canyon the tortilla flats/canyon lake road? i've ridden my bike there a couple of times, and always peed my pants...

NurSpec

hey bandwagon,

I am from az. where was that? There is an awesome place on the way to bartlett lake. was that it?

bB384

No, I havent been there yet, That road is the bggest burn, so I dont feel like crashing or getting my ar impounded. I usualy go up to Wilson. Or go to Sand Cyn. I've seen only one box in the 3 years i've run the canyons. Anyone in So. Cal want to meet up? PM ME!!!

bandwagon

NurSpec, I don't know where that video was taken. Haven't been to Bartlett. Now that I think about it, I don't think it was the Canyon Lake road because I didn't see any cliffs at the edge of the road...yikes!
