The Official Original 170 Thread

[2ndAmend]

I have been debating starting this, but here goes:

First comments on the 170:

Since the snow finally melted I was able to put about 260mi on the 170 so far. It likes to hold the rpm high, and I can't force an upshift like the RE Stage 2 allows. It is a bit annoying.

Took the RE out of mothballs today, drove the same roads as the 170 and it was a slap of reality how the RE felt every imperfection in the road, and we have nothing but imperfections because of our very harsh winter. The 170 rode very softly and was MUCH more comfortable! This was an unexpected surprise!

170 has softer springs and the 17' wheels with taller tires will also give a softer ride. I have Demon springs in my car and you can feel the difference
