I put on about the same amount of mileage as well, prob a lil more, it varies.

I just went out to my car and decided to check to see how much clearance I have from the inner part of my rims to the ground. The verdict: my key fob is taller (front and rear). Surprised they've kept up with all the potholes I've smashed into.

Dre, btw...the onramp from the 134 to the 5, that one drop OMG!!!!! I took that the other day at 10 mph and my car slammed to the ground. I swear to you that thing is like a 3" immediate free fall. I need to do a video of it one of these days lol.

BTW, Blain, you're Candinadianski **** coming this weekend to the place where everyone wants to live and die?

Yea I'd think it'd be taller

235/35 is a sidewall height of like.. 2.5" or something lol

I still drive the **** outta my car though, hence my weak stretch this time around.

And yea, I fly out tomorrow at like 11am your time.

Most def, totally agree with that being his best.

As for bags vs coils...I was to the point where I decided my next setup would be bags, even though it would require a ton of custom work on my end. In the end, bags aren't going to have the stiffness many of us look for. I plan on doing something in the low 20's high teens range spring rate wise, totally customized setup.

I decided to stick with coilovers but I know that without cutting my bumper in half and shortening it I can't drive the way I want to. Only one way around it when you're slammed ride is your daily, a cup kit. You can drive both higher up or lower. But the point is to drive it with it low and only use when in dire need to raise it. When you have the bag on the cup kit deflated, you're using 100% of your coilovers. Car raises up about 2-3" which in most cases is plenty. Just not sure if it will work for the rear with our car because I believe it needs 5" diameter. Rear may not have that much space.

Na, went to a club on Saturday and had 2 other peoples in the ride. Maybe the left lane is better, gotta try that out, but I thought the right lane was better for some reason.
