will do. Think i might actually adjust them today after work. The turning is great i just need to stop being so nervous. lol Im pushing it hard around some corners and the only thing i can complain about is im having a hard time staying in the seats. I order a sparco 3 point harness a while ago and still waiting on it to come in but it handles great.

It's really not all that hard to do.
Actually..i could explain it all over text messages..if that says anything to you.

No but really..try using the search feature, I'm sure there is a DIY.

yes and no. It depends on where they are and what type/size wheel you have. If you are really just dreading taking the wheel off that bad you might be able to adjust em on a jack but it'll be hard lol. Quicker to just take the wheel off.

new update. Went through some twisties to day with a friend that has ksports on a 05 spec-v and the racelands handle just as good a llttle better if you ask me. he had a lot mor bounce and i had a little more body roll but i didnt slide out in the corners he did. so the pluses and minuses
