You cant match rev very well with factory pedals while on the brakes,                                            so these are a must. I hate Clutch drag downshifts.

yeah man, springs are most likely going in. did sway bars make a noticeable difference? and dude, your 94 850 is the sickest one i've seen, 5*s, although i might have already rated it.

I bought a 960 throttle body and cleaned it up and ready to put it on. did you have to change anything like the ball joint on it, because the 960s sits up alittle higher. or did you just reconnect everything?
