Minnesota Chat Thread
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.

If you guys didn't know, I got sad news earlier this week. My dog Molly had to be put down on Thursday. I was out of town the whole week. Apparently, she got a hold of some rawhide and chewed off more than she could handle. It got lodged in her intestines and must have bound it up, then ruptured after the infection. Vets stated that the operation might not be successful, so Tara had to make the decision on the spot. 
RIP Molly
RIP Molly
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.

And I hate traffic in the cities.

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.

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.
