Question Free mods?
I've heard these words everywhere but never knew what these free mods are. Will someone please list any free mods they know of? I would love to take advantage of this.

Weight reduction is always free. IMO, the best free modification is !front swaybar.

So I have never really paid much attention to this and as to why people do it...what purpose does it serve and what do you get out of it besides a little weight off the front??

It allows for more instantaneous front to back weight transfer, helping to plant the rear tires more.

Granted the car will handle more like a canoe than a car, but it's great for the track.

When the car is completely stock, I noticed the difference. You get used to driving it without one, but when you get the sway bar back on there, It feels more comfortable going around corners.
