As some of you might know- I'm out of my sedan in a new wagon. Unfortuantely almost nothing swapped over from my sedan- struts/control arms/lateral links/etc.
As I've frequently preached I started w/ tires- Pirelli P Zero Nero's (the hi-po's, not the M&S's) 225/50/16 wrapped around Volk TE37's 16X7 (11.1 lbs!
).
My next step is dumping the finger thin 17mm rear sway bar for my sedan 20mm rear (one of the few pieces that actually swapped over). I have to wait on sway bushings as the 04 has the "new" HD sway mounts and a different shaped bushing.
This car (like my sedan) will see autox/rallyx/track days and be chief grcoery getter as well.
Stay tuned.
EDIT
Getting to be along thread and have gone through several different setups and was suggested that I put a cliff notes version of where I'm at currently- so here it is
