1st and least important, is my horn suppose to beep when I lock the doors? It just kinda flashes inside lights. Sometimes I end up pushing the button 3 times to make sure it locks.

2nd is there anyway to keep the front of the car from coming up under acceleration? Even if I mildly hit the gas in 2nd the front rising up a little. Makes me feel like the tires are gonna lose traction even though their griping fine. I was thinking about getting some new springs and shocks next summer / fall. What's the lowest I can go with out needing a camber kit? I was thinking 1"-1.3" and getting those 5 way adjustable illimuina shocks.

3rd Why do people pick on the t25 so much? I think mine hauls balls thru 1st and gives just enough boost to not seriously spin tires in 2nd. By that time I'm goin 60mph and don't need to acclerate any more.

3rd gear does suck a little though. I think it's because my 2G BOV though.

1. Stock alarm? No the horn doesnt sound when armed.

2. Suspension. - Anything more than a 1" drop you need a camber kit. you will notice slight wear on the tires over time.

3. Buy a real turbo, then you will see why people dog on t25s.
t25s are quick spoolers but die out quick.

Agreed
you don't even realize how bad it is until you put on even a 14B, then you'll wonder why you waited.

its not so much the front end lifting as the back end squating. some heavier units in the back would help with that. do you have fwd or awd? fwd will benefit from this as well in the form of increased traction when launching. awd doesn't really matter as the squating just increases the traction of the rear wheels.
