sounds worse than it is. i am only losing shipping on the PDE plates, and i think i lost $30 on the group-n's (after a year of use).

Are you going to soften up your sways now that you are going to stiff coilovers?

fullerton · 07-13-2007, 10:39 AM

they are already "softer". 25/25 was never a big jump.

i may move the rear to full soft, we'll see.

still have the stockers if necessary.

either way, it's all good.

Could be. Until my Japanese gets better I'll never know what I have and the differences between the Pinks and what I have.

I like 'em and I don't mind the extra clearance since DC area roads are poo.

Weird. I used a tape measure as well and got 6" all over (which surprised me since the sides looked lower) Then again I didn't drill into my bumper for the extra mounting points, I just mounted it where holes already were, if I drilled a few more it might pull it up a tiny bit more.

Anyway your car looks slammed and lookin good. When you coming out this way to clean my car up?

Haha, I clean my car about 4 times a year

Look at my install pics, that's what the car looks like normally!

I *did* drill the extra holes, so yeah, that could be it... The extra holes are closer to the sides though (but who knows, it might pull the whole thing up so it angles like that

).

I'm "eager" to see how fast I crack the f'er off. Not slammed as other cars, but low enough

**nandanrp** · 07-13-2007, 12:16 PM

Oh yeah, I just thought about this: how are the rears compared to pinks on your RA setup?

If they rake the car a bit differently from my pinks + front plates, your lip will be more "level" than mine maybe?

If I crack it I can't blame anyone but myself*

*If I'm the one driving. And it's not cracked by a douchebag hitting it while parked.

I think I've cleaned my car about 3 times so far this year. And by clean I mean washed it.

My poor car is dirty and mad at me.

Good point. I *think* my car is pretty level, and with the lowering plates in the front I could see that giving your car more a lean to the front and making the front lip lower. But I'm not a scientist. Or Chuck Norris.

So, when are you coming to clean my car?

**nandanrp** · 07-13-2007, 12:42 PM

I'll be there as soon as you ship my RE30s
