Dropped my car off at ntb this mornin. Most of you know how low i am. With my spl v1 front a arms and spl rear arms along with toe arms from jason zya they got almost all in spec with the exception of my right front caster. Crazy thing is they got my front and rear camber almost zeroed out. Holy poke batman. Will post pics later. Guess i should have told em to leave me at -1.5

can you notice a difference driving it at 0? I would think you can... Looks like I'm going to need -4 in the back with these wheels, going to be a long weekend!

after 3 weeks of waiting it's finally done, put the stance coilovers, kinetix arms, motordyne sway bars and volk gts's on today... Since I couldn't find anyone running 19x10.5 -2 offset wheels I was really afraid the rear wheels were going to be totally 4x4 but it looks ok. Running 255/35 and 285/35 so the super stretch hella flush dropped to the ground crew won't like the look much but at -2.2 rear camber it sits about right, probably going to put it at a solid -3 tomorrow and acidjake will be rolling the fenders, I don't have a camera so I guess I need to try and make a meet soon.

Yea, some of the sqeaking is gone since you hit it with the white lithium...but the clunking is definitely still very much there. Sad times.

The pics are posted in the DFW lounge thread

weight reduction.

my undercarriage dragged all the way from little elm texas to the galleria mall where people gave me funny looks.

Then my wheel well blew out on the tollway.

10lbs lighter, couldnt be happier. NOT

it was kinda funny when he called me freaking out, " OMG MY NEW EXHAUST IS DRAGGING ON THE ROAD AND PEOPLE ARE STARING AT ME!"

I felt bad, but it was really hard not to laugh.

oh ya, I changed my diff fluid over to some Amsoil 75w-90, also did an oil change and put my normal Penziol platinum in since I was running Penziol regular for my cam break in. now my engine can really move!

oh yeah one other thing while I was under there, I took off my oil cooler/warmer block and put in the HR stud I got so now the filter screws right on to the block, WEIGHT REDUCTION!

now time to wipe her down so we can do a shoot!

I thought so...but the noise has been back and when Rob and I pulled the rear driver-side coil off yesterday it appears that it is blown. Fluid was all over the piston.

I'm sorry, but that was mildly funny yesterday. YES, the fact that it happened sucks. The undertray was barely mounted under there to begin with from what I saw. It's no surprise that it ripped off.

But come on...you have to laugh just a little at this point
