It is very responsive now. I might try out the 27mm setting at AutoX vs the 29mm I have it set on now. All I can say is I just got back from a ride and with the alignment, the car is on friggen rails. Can't wait for
AutoX

I've been thinking about changing up the grill...again. I might go back to stock grill and ditch the lower. But this leaves the scoop, which wouldn't match. I'd like to keep it there to keep crap off intercooler...undecided at this point.
