And here everybody is trying to kill it.
I know!! And they sell kits to DEFEAT it for the track. Although, I have to admit. . I don't race on the track, so I can't say it's worth defeating for the track. All I can say is, people spend way too much time prepping their street cars for the track, when most of us never (or rarely) go there.
For the street, keep the HICAS... it's a hell of a cool thing, IMO. . Plus, you get VLSD, stiffer stock springs and thicker stock sways (which most people replace anyway haha, but still...) and you get a tighter ratio front steering box. . All adds up for some impressive feel, and amazing handling. . Don't get me wrong, my S14 handles okay, but it's total ASS compared to my HICAS S13, and I knew what I was up against b4 I bought it. . (and I'd make the decision again) fresher, newer S14 > rusting 140k mile S13. .
