Does everyone like their DTS? Should I buy one now that they're ~$100 off?

Default Definite driveline improvement, the poly mount only made it better. Yes.

I'm not sure if its just in my head but I think it takes some stress off the other 4 mounts. Atleast the initial shocks. Oh and it definitely an body reinforcement improvement from that flimsy bar the car comes with.

Well, there ya go, another good reason. Together with a Purems strut bar, the car will tighten up

Default How often do you bottom-out?

I would guess that it would be the lowest component of the car not the oil pan

And as such, would bottom-out?


Your experiences would be appreciated as I have been on the fence this for years contemplating purchase

Default I've bottomed out a few times with mine coming up out of a steep driveway...

If I go slow enough I won't hit, but sometimes I forget. I'm also lowered on Vogtland's so take that into consideration.
