I might be interested in coming out to woodward tonight. I am not sure yet what I have to do, but if I am free I will call one of you on my way out. Its been a while since I have seen most of you.

Anyways, whoever wants to meet up tonight we could meet around Novi/Farmington area first for dinner, then all drive to Woodward after.

What say you folks? I'm free after 7:30 or so

PS ~ I'm always up for installing somethin
Thank you, I will pass it on. It was her Grandmother that passed. She was pretty old and already had a long life.

very sorry to hear that as well, brian. you and your wife/family have my condolences too.

the gf and are looking for a roof top tonight after work to grab a beer and dinner... we'll most likely be in the berkley area.... 24 seconds has great beer and even better food. berkley front is right next door and is a mecca for beer, but no roof there. anyone is welcome to join us - and we can drive from there to woodward (a whole 4 or 5 blocks, lol). we'll cruise for a bit.... is there a planned 'parking point'? the giant kroger parking lot at 13 and woodward could be good. thoughts?

Sorry to hear that Brian. My condolences

I am very interested to join tonight but I doubt that I can. If things change, I will call one of you and try to meet up. Have fun

LOL! Seriously, you've got a 1" drop there. Your front camber will go negative to maybe -2 to -2.5 degrees. (Stock is around -1) This is a bit of wear on the inside edges. It will grip like a mad cat in a thick **** carpet. But the tire store will love you. Personally, I installed the Ichiba adjustable upper A arms. But I dropped 30mm. (1.2")

As for the rear, at minimum, you need the SPC toe bolts. This requires some grinding of the toe bolt slots. I have the dremel but I'd need you to get a new bit. Mine was worn out and it took more effort than is necessary.

I also installed camber arms. Considering the cost of rear tires, it was worth it. After the install, you will need an alignment. So I'm not sure how much you want to replace when you drop. But it has to be done at the same time otherwise you will have multiple alignments.

It's an afternoon of work but a few of us have already done that job. It's going to look badass on those wheels. I look forward to seeing it.

Sorry for the mistake Brian -_-''

So plan for tonight? Talked to Kyle and he said him and a few others are going out as well.

Does anybody want to meet up for dinner? Or just cruise?

Brianna and I will catch dinner somewhere and do a one up and down cruise on Woodward. It is Father's Day weekend so we're going to spend time together. It would be good to know where y'all are meeting. Rob, I'll give you a call when we are leaving dinner. We'll plan to be on Woodward by 830 or 9.

Might check this out for a sec...
IMPORT MEET IN PONTIAC AT 10PM OFF WOODWARD JUST SOUTH OF ORCHARD LAKE

^^ Brianna and I had dinner at 7mile and 275. Got out at 9 and left a message for Rob. Saw there was a storm coming and hail was predicted. Basicly, this should clear out Woodward.

It took almost an hour to get home. M-Dot decided to shut I275 S to one lane. Dumbasses. Got in just as the hail was hitting. I felt my D-side A pillar get smacked hard. I'll check for damage in the morning.

Oh damn. I just got home from the game. It ended with Valverde getting 2 Ks in the top of the 9th with lightning in the northwest. Luckily I didn't encounter any hail... but I did see a pretty nice Cadillac in the ditch on by the Forest ramp to northwestern...

Hail would be bad. I have no shelter for the car.

Just got back. Thanks for the warning Brian. A decent sized group ended up going to the art van covered lot to hangout just as the tornado warnings were going off lol. Z-wise it was me, Kyle, and Quincey.

Oh and I got issued a challenge to race a wrx (while it was raining...)

Oh, how brave. An AWD vs a Z in the rain. What a dork. How did you respond?

atually it was his friend that wanted me to race him, told him I didn't race on the street and he actually asked me why lol. I said if he wants to go to a track I'd gladly race him. Then he asked if I thought I was faster, I was like I dunno.

Plus for some reason everybody tonight was asking how much hp I was making....I guess my car looks fast haha
