    Y’all trying to get me killed? Remember I also pick up the kiddo after work.

    My first order of dammit I bought Chinese made parts when I did t want to have begun arriving. Tried to avoid Amazon, but looks like eBay has fallen prey to them also... My Bilstein B4 struts and shocks have arrived, just waiting for the strut / shock mounts and H&R lowering springs to arrive then I just have to see when I can install them.

    Six miles in sunny California you could ride a bike to work... (I also am six miles from work and drive)

    Anyways, I ordered some Bilstein B4s, and have some H&R Springs on the way too, along with a Valve Cover Gasket. Yes the B4 is an OEM replacement and the springs will lower the car. The car is meant to be a budget build, so naturally its getting lowered without upgrading the stock suspension, other than replacing 18 year old OEM stuff. If the car hangs around long enough to destroy these B4s, I will buy B8s at that point. The H&R springs are only supposed to be a 1" drop so they shouldn't get destroyed immediately.

    I washed it too, still pretty dirty, but most of the AZ dirt/ dust has been washed off

    Oh yes, I guess I should answer part of the story that never came to fruition...

    A C30 was on the list, but the 2door hatchback was a Beetle TDi. I really wanted to say that I had 2 modern New Beetles, a FF and RR. I can’t believe how stupid sellers are. I had money for a half dozen cool cars but they never replied to close a deal even when we had discussed a little and I was ready to buy. Oh well...
