Never had to use the Ignore feature on this site before, pretty sad I did today.


So i decided to play with the Revs Per Mile with my SCT3 tuner to see if I could correct the Speedo for the new summer tire size. I got it pretty close need to bump it up a little bit to be spot on. Really nice to know it's as easy as 5 mins to play with the settings and have it corrected.

Even drove the Ex today, I felt bad with it just sitting there in the driveway...

For now, I am happy that my EX is back home and parked on my driveway!!
Glad to hear you got it taken care of- where did you end up having the work done?

Also, what track bar did you go with?

Work was done in a shop in Herndon. Got the adjustable track bar from ATS along with the spring kits.
