i was just giving you a bit of crap, didn't mean to come off like a dick.
but yeah, i beat my car like it owes me money, which is why i had entire suspension/drivetrain rebuilt with urethane (everything except guibo) before i ever drove it. was expensive up front but haven't had to touch it since.
is time for new shocks though (getting 4 years out of tokico blues is not so bad, for the cost), so i think i'm doing IE Stg3 and M-Coupe Konis next.
just had final interview with a startup in Atlanta. might not be around to piss you guys off anymore next month :Ppast:

i see what u mean now brah. btw - have a funny story to tell you about what happened after we left bongoOriginally posted by RUFFLZugh.

like we discussed at your shop the past few weeks, gotta stay aggressive with them.
it really sucked for me since it took so much time/energy out of my daily life at the time of the battle, but it was definitely worth it in retrospect.
be very detail-orientated in your submissions to the companies, and lawyer'ing up may also be a good idea.

i'm e36 front / z3 1.9 rear, so those are a bolt-up for me.

welcome to the party, Herb, hope you're ready to put some work in.
Eric: they're nice, but more than i feel i need- i can't go that low anyway because m42 pan and i don't really want super-stiff springs because vert.past:

oohhh vert. ya anything stiffer than HR sport cause the car to flex and make weird noises.
im on HR sport, koni yellows, GC top hats, IE rear spring lifers. it's a cushy ride
you will want the spring lifters with the IEs3 springs or the car will butt sag.
i had hr race on my mtech and hated the feel, you may want to drive my vert before committing to so stiff on yours. that stiffness made the fron feel disconnected from the rear.Comment

we should have swapped sometime (maybe i'll be able to make it back to the southbay meet before i leave, but not confident of that).
i still think hardtop makes a ton of difference- i noticed the flex/shake you're talking about even on H&R Sport/Tokico Blues. with the hardtop on it feels about as stiff as my old coupe was, ass end was willing to step out when provoked- really was night and day.past:
