    HVAC issues - air isn't blowing from ANY location

    Mine has an intermittent issue with the selector door for the torso outlets not opening. It will close the defrost and foot outlets, but not open the torso, so there's very little airflow at all. I would get down and look closely at it while changing the outlets. Now that I know what's...

    eBay 2” drop spindles vs bell tech or djm

    Just a counter point, I installed ebay drop spindles in early 2019. Roughly 20,000 miles on them with no issue. Most of this stuff is built in the same factories as the name brand part. I also cut my springs, but I was wanting a little stiffer spring rate anyway. I never messed with...

    Bar torsion is diameter raised to the fourth power multiplied by some other things that I don't remember. so the 1.375" bar is ~50% stiffer than 1.25". 1.5" would be roughly double the stiffness, but I'm seeing the ridetech bar as a 1.438" which would be ~1.75 stiffer than stock. I have the...
