My springs have not fully settled, but thus far it is exactly what I wanted a even drop. They claim 1.1 up front and .75 in back and so far it is right on...you can see in the pics it looks almost the same front to back......lovin them right now, makes the look I have been shooting for awhile.......finally

If you're seriously down to do it again, let me know. I'm not going to probably learn much, unlike Regulator, but I'll "hold the flashlight" or whatever. I'll give you two 6-packs per hour! =)

Let me know.........I can work it out with my work schedule........I was just kidding about the beer, though it does pass the time better

Can take what I learned from mine and am sure I could do it again in a more timely manner.

With two 6 pks/hr could use some spectators.....:)

Seriously! I don't want to start inviting people to your place, but if Regulator wanted to come watch, I guess this is a chance. Ha!

Okay... So before I get too over-my-head with commitments here, lemme say that it's realisticaly a toss up between a cold air intake, and springs. If I do get the CAI, it'll be my first mod in the performance realm, and from what I hear, they take-well to the MS6, so....

Anyway, lemme think about this all. And would you mind helping me with that install of a CAI, for that same "beer rate"? =)

I feel like a chump for not knowing how to work on my car, but it is what it is.

Don't feel bad about not knowing your car. Everyone started out that way and had to learn it over time. You were just giving everyone else a head start.

I feel like I should have some sort of a degree with how much research and homework I have donw with this car. It is nice to know that if something does come up I can fix it, or have this community to help me out.

I'd be down for a spring install. Suspension work is fun. I've done springs on several cars.

Never done it, would like the same springs on my MS6. I think we should do a "suspension meet" sometime before summer. Install, beer, food... not necessarily in that order...

lemme know about the camber kit. At my recent alignment they were only able to do so because of the OEM components.

Just throwing it out there... If you are going to get springs installed and also need a new set of tires... discount tire will give you a free alignment when you buy a set of tires from them.
