15" OEM wheels ?? I know of 16" but not 15" at all ? I could be wrong but
AFAIK none had 15" due to caliper clearance.

I'm probably the one who started that GC issue ---- There is a needle bearing
at the top of the spring assembly that allows the suspension to rotate when
turning and GC does have a problem with their setup. The problem is that
during sharp low speed turns [ parking lot ] the springs will make sometimes
make a twanging sound. It doesn't appear to be a problem other than the spring
noise. I've had the same bearings in for over a year with no further problems.
I've also nagged GC to fix the problem [ as recently as 2 weeks ago ] without a
fix.

To my knowledge none of the camber plates will allow you to use stock style
springs ---- GC sells Eibach with their kit but any 2½" diameter spring will work.
I 'think' Tien uses a different style spring and only offers a few spring rates.
I have a contact from Tien in Japan who can give you the straight poop.

Jeff Lucius,

Thanks for the reply.  It is exactly what I was looking for.  After looking
last night through the Circuit Diagrams for our cars, I came to the
conclusion to connect the Orange wire to the Black with white stripe wire
(ignition) from the C-82 connector.  I just had to find it.  What you told
me is the reassurance I needed.  The other Red 12V wire I was going to
connect to the ciggarette lighter.  However, I'll go the way you said.  It's
been tried out before.

Thanks again.

I connected all my gauges' (including 2 GReddy EGT) ignition-switched
(IG1) 12V wires (the orange one) to pin 4 of C-59 (black w/ white
stripe) and the battery-sourced 12V wires (the red one) to pin 6 of
C-59 (white). C-59 is the Ignition Switch connector under the
steering column covers. Look in the Electrical volume of the Service
Manual in the Power Distribution Circuit Diagram for pin
identification.

All Stealth base (SOHC) models came with 15" wheels as standard
equipment.  I think the size was 205/65R15, (it's on our Specs Page).
On the ES and RT, 16" were standard, 225/55R16.  The bigger brakes were
only on the turbo models, so 15" wheels will *probably* fit most other
NT's.  (I'd call a Dodge dealer's tech department to be sure).

Many base owners have upgraded to larger wheels and have 15's laying
around, so you might want to do a separate post to the list:

Hey guys, sorry if this is a repost.

Read the details about poor RPS customer service and how they are trying to
cover up an inferior product.

Subject: Team3S: MY MITSU STIFFLY

I have changed spark plugs, cable wires, fuel filter, cleaned fuel tank and
setting the ignition timing at 5 degree BTDC, but it runs stiffly when I
accelerate. It will be very stiffly if A/C on and feel the engine works
hard.
It only always be happened when accelerate after that it runs smoothly.
Please advice me what should I must do for my car.
Your kindly assistance will be highly appreciated and sorry for my bad
english.
