[Supras] Strut time!

[Christian, Skip]

	Sorry to disappoint guys, but this is an N/A.  Just my commuter
car.  That said, I HATE understeer :-)  On my GN, I installed two bars
on the rear and body structural braces to eliminate (I wish) it. Bad
thing was, on wet roads, if the throttle was pushed 1/16" too far on a
corner, the back end came around.  Easy to catch, though :-)
	Are either the ST or whiteline bars hollow (& adjustable).
Recommend a web site for me to check them out ?

Thanks, Skip

Hah.  Bump it up over 500rwhp and just keeping it going straight is a
challenge.  :-D
