well i emailed zspeed about the play, he said it needs to be adjusted and he can walk me through it over the phone... and it specifically says on website that it has to be adjusted after install, and i bet since it is aftermarket the shop isnt used to them having adjustments

Big thanks to Chris F. for coming over to help install the new shocks.

It was hot a muggy but we had them on the car in a couple of hours.

So far I love the ride. With them set as recommend, the ride is nicer than the old setup and we where driving around on the RS3's. First race tomorrow, will see how things go.

Of course I forgot to weight them but the fronts could be close to half the weight of the Koni Eibachs package.
Ride height is supper easy to change in the fronts, The rears are going to need a thrust washer between the adjuster and the spring. The back was tough to move.

See ya all Saturday

Scott, It was no problem to come and help you out.

I'm glad everything went smooth and easy....except for the adjustment of the rear height adjustments....those were a ***** !

Congrats for the win on the AutoX this past Sat...you were driving great as always.

Jake is the guy you want to roll your fenders...if you want to do it yourself...you will F'them up ! So just pay Jake and have them done right.

If you like to work on your own car there's actually a guy in the DFW metro that rents out the rollers.

I got to thinking after Patrick was rear ended.... how would rolling your fenders affect a body shop repairing the rear quarter....

I think Pat just said the rear bumper? Unless I miss reading where his quarter panel got damaged as well.
