I'll bring em back!! I thought NYC roads are rough. When I drive in HK, the roads are beautiful! It's hard to drive for me since when I look at the rearview, I look out the window by mistake since I am so used to LHD.

I once drove manual transmission and I kept on shifting to the wrong gears. I got pissed and decided to shift with my right hand.

I never heard AK mention that
according to the desc, its an active antiroll bar, it doesnt say anything abt the dampers so dont understand why they are highlighted in the picture.

anyway, even if it can change the damping, doesnt mean it can also change the height.

I mostly drive in TST thru to the Hong Kong area. Then I get lost. Rarely get into NT. Maybe that's why. When I come back for a meet and drive, someone MUST meet me at home in TST then guide me to places. LOL.
