Thanks guys. I'll be back as much as I can but I'm going to be very busy up there and my weekends may be pretty booked up for a while. I will definately be at the event on the 15th as this will be my last event for a while I think.

Congrats on the job Patrick, hope it works out well for you.

Jody, not sure if anyone got back with you...

If you were to do shocks/springs on Robert's car here are a couple scenarios:

Eibach Pro Kit springs (about 1" drop all around) with Monroe SensaTrac struts all for about $600-$650 shipped.

Eibach Pro Kit springs with KYB GR2 struts all around $525-$550 shipped.

If he wants adjustability you can get the KYB AGX adjustable struts, but that will make it about $750-$800 shipped with springs.

When you get up that high in price you could go with coilovers for $900-$1,000 from manufacturers like Stance, Fortune Auto, KSport, ISC, and maybe a couple others. Can find cheaper coilovers, but they would be cheaper in quality too and not as good as a decent spring/strut combo.

Ya. I'll be in Pratt about an hour west of Wichita. I'm getting to stay in a five bedroom house for free and a company truck as well from my boss. He's paying for all of my gas including driving to and from Dallas when I come home. The only thing I really have to pay for up there is food and drink.

This sucks. I posted in the Wichita Kansas z's thread in the south central region and these guys aren't very talkative lol. I'm used to having quite a few of us that are posting everyday but these guys post once like every other day. Lame...
