MRC is G BEST!!

Went to MRC to get a few goodies installed!

Tein Basic Coilover

JWT Clutch & Flywheel

Stillen Sways

SPC Rear camber was going to be installed too, but I took the advice from Julian and Jason to have the alignment shop do it otheriwse the long azz ride home would be....well eventful!

Now everyone has heard that "You get what you pay for" but if you go to MRC, you get way more then you pay for! Perhaps it was the bribe (some cannolis and italian cookies) or perhaps they just truly enjoy and take pride in what they do! Maybe a combination of both!! LOL

Anyway, big ol thanks to Jules and Jason at MRC and of course the guys workin under Monique all day while I waited for my baby! They did all the above in about 6 hours or so. Hopefully I wasn't too much of a PITA waiting around!

Big thanks to Coupin who took a ride to help me kill some time as well!

I got the JWT clutch and flywheel from MRC (Another huge thanks as they were able to overnight as it was supposed to be installed by the dealer when the tranny was replaced under warrany. They bent over backwards getting it shipped ASAP....needles to say the dealer sux and then wouldn't install it after they said they would).

Sway were purchased from the group buy and the BASICS were from MARCHESANO who hooked me up BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIG TIME!!!

Reviews: JWT Combo - So far awesome! Not nearly as noisy as I thought it would be. I will provide more feedback after the clutch is broken and I can actually drive it a bit. Right now I'm in grandma mode!

Basics/Sways - Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn!!! Luvin it! I would love to comapre each one individually, however, since both were installed at the same time, I can't honestly say that results X & Y were from the Basics and result Z was from the sways. All I kow is that it rides nice, slightly firmer then stock but not overly noticeable. The only time you really notice it is when you hit larger bumps/holes. I think you def feel more "impact" and the stock setup absorbed the larger hits better. The basics def hug the road better and makes the G feel like it is vacuumed to the road. The drop now is okay but I think I wanna go just a little lower especially in the front! SWAYS - Woooooooooooooohoooo exits ramps are friggin ridiculously fun now!

I will def be going back there soon! Next time though, I will buy more parts from them as they seem to truly stand behind what they sell (Good thing they don't sell beds!) Although you may save a few bucks from ordering parts online, it's always nice to have someone you can discuss features, issues, problems, etc with face to face. Well worth the few bucks extra you may pay.

Thank again MRC!!! I'll be back shortly!!

Had to clean her an awaiting to lower it a bit more before I release pics. Not to mention she needs a good polishing! I am getting the cyclo tuned up after it's winters nap! Maybe I'll take some distance shots so everyone doesn't see the swirls and water marks!

The drop is subtle as it sits now. I wanna roll the fenders and slam it a bit more.
