unfortunately i have little control of this mod and it's getting a bit out of control . at least the control arm mounting points are in good shape (i inspect them often and keep them oiled up)

You're starting to sound like my boss. I'll update him once in a while on my mpg #s and he'll say "What, that can't be right, no way, you must not be figuring it right". It is advanced math . I say, "My odometer checks accurate to within better than 1/4% using google earth, and I doubt the gas pumps are off in my favor everytime".

Somehow I'm driving down hill and with the wind at all times .

I get it, you aren't actually moving, your car is actually pushing the world around itself.
