yah, mine scrapes that bottom diffuser looking thing on the front
aero kit too sometimes when going super fast through a turn and
driving over a bump or something at mid turns. no biggie.

(and if you do it right, the car will even handlebetter than stock).

Maybe I'd look into that then...
P.S. lowering a car in Chicago? I know those so-called highways, you're a man who likes to live dangerously.

I was waiting to get the blown KW V2s back from KW before I installed them. Now I have the KWs back, but I need time to re-install them
Who came up with working 5-6 days a week anyway?

Update on the Teins, after messing around with them a bunch they are going back to the drawing board to re-work them. All for the good I am told. So the word is that the shock will be revalved to a softer compression and the spring rate will be changed. After putting a bunch of miles on it we could'nt get it dialed in enough to be happy.
Keep you posted as to what the results are.
