And what set up are you running (ie completely stock, very minor engine mods)? I'd like to see how many owners on here are able to maintain their FD in good running condition to be able to drive to and from work daily. My guess would be these are closer to stock FD's than really modified (for engine purposes). Thanks guys.

Mine's a daily driver but is slowly becoming more and more of a track car. The Zeals are bearable on the street with the dampening at 1, but the Raceshopt Rollcage does rattle over bumps. I have the FC thermoswitch mod which keeps temps low on the street and the Greddy water pump pulley installed for the high rpm track stuff.
