Lightbulb Fully Adjustable Front Suspension

Cheap, painless, and very functional. I found the screws in my junk bucket (two different ones no less), but steal your friends cheapo sunglasses and those should work. I had to use an exacto a little to widen the hole first, then I just screwed them in. Tightening one side has a stiffening effect on the other. Generally, stiffer suspension causes the car to turn faster. I found that by setting them at different levels, you can make gradual turns one way, but really sharp turns the other....works great on tracks that have a sharp hairpin thrown in, or wide sweeping turns, or both.

That's just brilliant. I bought a glasses repair kit for $.99 cos I needed the little tweezers. It came with 4 extra screws and a little screwdriver. Any idea what I can use the nose pads for?

The Skyline fits fine, though anything lower, and you'd have to trim the screws so they not so long. I'm so tempted to drill holes in the hood so I can adjust on the fly, but I ain't choppin' up the Skyline.

Put them on your cupboard doors so they don't slam when they close.
