honestly... you might be lower then me in the rear lol. I didnt lower the rear all the much, i have about a finger, finger and half gap in the rear, but i do scrape here and there. I havent scraped much in FL, but did scrape tons in pittsburgh

i just have the intake cam, but i did motor, cam, pnp intake mani and a few other things all the same time.

So i cant really help you out.

also are you the guy drove out to PA for a dyno day i was at?

Nope, couldn't make it there that time.

it is a great car...

fatti, from the sound of it, I'm lower than you, and I'm on stockers. lol. heavy sub box will do that tho!

someone came from jersey to one of the dyno days, he had the MPI tuner.



lol ya im not that low yet, going to be lowering it this coming week. Roads are alot nicer in FL so i dont have to worry about scraping that much.

still need to get a dam mirror though, its really starting to get to me lol

 

[fatti03msp]

Think im going to do this

MX-6 Rear Strut Bar

not sure if it will really do all that much, but there cheap to buy and gives me something to do.

 

[Wagonbacker9]

I got the GTspec in, but if I didn't I'd be all for that.

 

[SeR_Cyclops]

could you tell any difference after it was installed? (this is to Wagon)

definitely... and I can say with relative certianty it wasn't placebo effect. theres a turn onto the freeway that I take pretty agressively whenever I can (right turn lane, and the on-ramp is 2 lanes wide with wide shoulders).

before I got the strut bar i would understeer if I was on the gas at any kind of speed, after installing the strut bar, under the same conditions I do a 4 wheel neutral slide.

 

[fatti03msp]

haha nice

 

[Wagonbacker9]

haha nice

it is the ONLY way to end a work day....

 

[fatti03msp]

wouldnt know much about that, still searching for jobs in FL and no luck really.

I assumed you moved there for work... guess not?

 

[fatti03msp]

for drafting there where no jobs in pittsburgh, so i figured y not moved to FL with my buddy and see if i can find a job down there instead of sitting around in pittsburgh.

Plus right now, i would be hating life with the cold.

I suppose it can't hurt to try moving... idk, too high risk for my taste. I'm keeping my ass planted til the economy recovers. then the gf has this great idea that we're gonna move to GB... oh joy.. MORE snow! FML.

I've had Emanage Blue/Gold converted myself. I don't know many MSP's from NJ since they all scattered all over NJ lol.

One of my friends that's in FL wants me to move there since the weather is heaven but too bad there's not many job's in there but I would've listen to him and moved there asap.

GL finding a job soon.

Ya im LOVING the weather, def. dont ever want to move back to PA

but a shot my car from our campsite at Daytona

 

[Wagonbacker9]

lol green bay.

 

[fatti03msp]

so yesterday i went to lower the car a lil bit. The fronts worked out great, but when we tried to do the rear...... The part that mounts to the hub wouldn't spin at all.

We soaked it with PB blaster and even took out the strut and put it in a vice to try and get the the mounting part to spin and nothing.

Anybody else ever have this problem with BC coils?

 

[justanothermp5]

prob some dirt or something stuck in there, happens to my GC coilover sleeves pretty often

give it a couple wacks with a rubber mallet or something to loosen the dirt, should help
