Hi Smootz, sorry to hear about your dog . Anyway I was refering to this thread. I took a measurement of the gap difference between the front and rear fenderwell and had about .5. I want to even things out but cannot afford coilovers now. The springs that I find that comes closest to even things out result in 1.2" rear and 1" front. With this mod I can go with something that gives me either .6" all aound or .8" all around.

just get the hotchkis springs and call it a day. By far the best riding lowering spring setup I have experienced. And the drop will fit your needs

RIP Molly
Sorry, Dave.

Molly was a good dog, as much as she dug through your little gardens. I bet it feels empty without her now.

Of course I'd do the front and rear brakes.... Muauahahahahaha!

Like Aaron posted, just buy the Hotchkis springs. It'll do the trick.

Ben, it definitely feels a little bit empty. I still look for her.

If you're getting rid of the Z, we should work something out on your test pipes.

Ahh I see.

I don't know if he has his stock cats, but I'm praying he does. I need test pipes.

All my stuff was packed up Tuesday and its kinda sad that all my belongings didn't fill half of the 16x8x10 container.

At any rate I hit the road tomorrow night and I'm going to drive for as long as I can drive then I will do the same Saturday but stopping at a few friends houses along the way. Right now I expect to show up in Minnesota on Suday.

I'm really looking forward to meeting you guys and if there is anything you can think of that I might find useful about living in MN I would really appreciate the advice.

If you get there early Sunday, I'll try to stay around to say hello.

Anyone have test pipes up for grabs?

Right now I'm planning on getting in later Sunday so I wouldn't stick around too long. Sorry no test pipes up for grabs but I have that front lip for sportbiketed. I still need to get him the pictures I took of it now that I think of it.

BTW superbowl party at my place. I have a 73 inch high def tv and the town house I'm looking at should be enough to fit a good crowd.
