Hey fellas, not to be the devil's advocate here or anything, but instead of the super target, why don't we meet at buffalo wild wings in apple valley? That place is the $hit.....I'm not sure what's around super target, at buffalo's we can get some grub, have a couple of beers, and look at some nice tail while we're at it.....what do you all think?

Here's a pointer on the meets I host. Please don't get offended, I am in no way belittling you. The whole point of going to an open space parking lot is we get a chance to park, chill, have a little bit of car talk, less distractions, and no rush by customers looking for parking spaces. As far as police, we encounter them all the time, but as long as everyone stays cool they are cool with us. Some of them actually stop to admire our cars. Everyone pretty much does the show and tell while waiting for others to arrive. After everyone is there we caravan to a restaurant for dinner, which to me is one of the best parts of the meet when we're all together on the road. Don't worry, no one has ever done any street racing, burn outs, drifting, and whatnot. We all are better than that. Usually we go to less busy places that aren't too loud. Some of the popular spots we've done was L&L Barbeque and some Japanese restaurants. I still haven't thought of which restaurant to go to next month but I will update that later.

About 96% of the faces at my meets are regulars so there's a lot of chit chat, catch up type conversations. In the end of the day, we're leaving and getting home close to midnight. Not to say we don't have anything to do the next day, its just that our meets are da' shiznit! After a short night (at least is always seems that way), by the time we look down at our watches, its time for night night. I hope you make it out, we have a good bunch of guys out here.

No worries brotha, no offense taken what so ever. It was just a friendly suggestion, I'll be there regardless of location.... I get what your saying and totally agree with the open space parking lot idea rather than dealing with parking spot availability issues... look forward to meetin you all

^ Cool!

Looks like the list is getting better. Now we need the rest of the HD crew to visit our thread and sign up I'll prolly just text them a few days before the meet if they don't show up here.

I got the spc rear camber kit (arms and toe bolts) from Intense $175 shipped.... installed it yesterday along with hotchkis springs, waiting for them to settle to get it aligned at the dealership.....

How low are you guys going? On springs or coilovers? With springs, you only drop about an inch give or take. You can use the factory camber and toe adjustments to get back to specs. With such a small drop, your alignment is barely affected.

Well, not necessarily, every car is different, 10sec's lowered on gf210's, that's 1" front 1.2" rear, from what I hear, anything over an inch, camber kit is highly recommended if not needed.... I'm lowered on hotchkis .6"/.8", so in theory I shouldn't need one, yet a bunch of members on the forum with the same springs say that after a few months of lowering and alignment, their camber in the rear was all screwed up and they needed the correction kit....
