Nice Jablonski, but like others said, you should take some wide angle shots of the whole car.



These cars look very nice lowered, I'm about to get some sorta springs (Treceb? You selling?) with my tax return money (other than some other maintenance items, filters, plugs, brakes, etc).



This week and in the next 2 weeks I get my commission checks that will pay off my FD in full. A 5 year loan paid off in 10 months, not bad eh?

no wonder martin didnt return my PMs about that suspension....



now, are they drag or drift specs??



drag specs have some nice spring rates for the street, IMO. softer than the hipermaxII.

they are drifts... they are stiff..



the drag specs have low spring rates... and it rebounds very slow... so while you're taking off.. all the weight is on the back wheels.. and stay there, these things dont even move if you put weight on them

i have noticed more than coilover choice, tire sizing affects how your car drives over bumps etc......i'll explain to paco later haha
