I had them in the jeep and the tall sides kept on curling down. Was a pain in the *** so ended up taking them out. That said an Audi I bought came with them and they fit like a glove, so guess it varies on the application.

Got the exhaust adjusted closer but came to the conclusion without a lift its going to be damn near futile trying to get it just right crawling on my back under the jackstands so went to my muffler shop to get them to tweak it and of course they are closed for the weekend. So I'll wait until Monday.

The coilovers settled like crazy and think they are finally done now, and need to raise all four corners up by about 1/2". At least it's not underneath the car lol

The only part of that will be a pain now is with the Motordyne setup I can't jack in the middle of the back to lift the entire rear all at once. Not a huge deal but not as easy as it could have/should have been.

Man I sound like I'm complaining a lot today

I f*cking swear, Mrs. BoneZ flies out of our driveway for some unknown reason and can't seem to keep it on the driveway. We have a large drop-off into to grass, which results in dragging the Z on the concrete.

Replace:
A) the wife, or
B) the grass with concrete.

Your choice

This is my first summer with one. Not bad at all so far

We'll see what I have to say about it in August

For me it just feels kinda itchy during the summer, not very pleasant

BC Racing BR series

Which I'm contemplating replacing. At first they felt pretty decent and dialled in quote well, now the car is all over the road and they float no matter how they are adjusted. And had the car aligned and corner balanced - which I'll take it in and try one more time after raising it back up. Hopefully I'll be pleasantly surprised, otherwise I'll swap them for something else.

Just a case of get what you pay for I suppose. Which can obviously be an expensive lesson.

The good news is the Motordyne exhaust is breaking in nicely in terms of sound. Not quite like a screaming banshee breaking out of hell any more!

Concrete is cheaper.

It is difficult to restrain myself from tearing through the curves but a lot of people walk their dogs and bike on the road. I get yelled at for doing 25 passing people

that is a good song to cruise to, gotta watch the right foot though

Woot got my hair cut, had a good time motoring my STI afterwards, and gassed it up (non-EW style).
