ehhh i dont know.....with the new springs they sound good. If i was a track racer, i wouldn't run them....but i have no complaints outside of the common problem that they bottom out (which is fixed with the new springs)

i got a suspension sponsor (kinda) so im movin on.

i will add that there was travel issues that have since been solved. i did experience the problems and they sucked. new springs fixed it and all is right in the world again.

That Lotus seems to be feet-off-the-ground in comparison

Very nice. Could use a degree or two of negative camber in the back. . . Front looks good.

Well, it must be the photo then, because the fronts are -2.0 and the rears
-1.4.

Longboard--lookin' great my man! Nice mix of black and chrome. And not ultra-slammed...a look and ride I particularly like btw, you don't seem to be running camber plates on the front?
Of course, with your car, and Sid's, there's some serious horses rustling under those bonnets.

Thanks for the kind words Doc. I like a clean simple look. There is allot done but you have to know what your looking for to see it. I just added the tail lights and I really like they way they work with the rest of the car.

You have a very good eye. I was going to have Danny (MiniCorsa) install the IE fixed camber plates last week when he did the clutch/LSD but we ran out of day. Hopefully I will get them one real soon.

I read your Sig about saying you had a big bike.

Me to and it's lowered

Well, my GIANT bike only has 1/3HP, on a good day!! My new sig line reflects the brands of my car, and bike--even though a little time on my web would reveal that my obsessive personality seems to extend to both bicycles and cars...
Your motorbike, on the other hand, is in a class all its own!!
cheers,

Hey MCSMiami.......a little off thread but I was wondering about your tinted windows? How did the tint guy get rid of the dot matrix areas around your tinted windows? Most tints I have seen don't cover the dots very well. Any idea. Nice drop to your car too.
