  1. sounds political to me, seeing as where the money goes
  2. then don't start. do you NEED to have it lowered by that much? Do you care about the negative camber gain? Do you care about excessive tire wear? Do you want to shorten your suspension travel by lowering your car 2" and not sectioning your strut housings? If you must lower it 2" get a set of coilovers with spring rates you choose, not some predefined configuration. You can run non-adjustable shocks with coilovers. figure $400 for coilovers that you can adjust yourself and choose how much you want to lower the car. example: Stock ride height above, on 205/60/15 tires Lowered with GC coilovers and NON-sectioned strut housings. Probably about 2" max. Tires are undersized at 225/50/15
  3. into my server? lol. I assume you mean http://www.cheapwheels.com
  4. correct. what it means in terms of performance is that you get a comfy ride on the street and better performance on curves. downside is that you get too much bodyroll on low speed corners as the weight is tossed around. Suspension is also not as predictable as linear springs. They're essentially good for someone who wants to lower the car and retain ride quality to be decent. That, and think about progressive geometry changing as you fill up your gas tank, or add a passenger. If you're swapping out springs, there's no need to section strut housings. the strut housings are sectioned if you're lowering your car more than 2", and have to use shorter struts (not for 240/280z!) to fit the profile and retain the correct suspension travel without bottoming out. Honestly, I think you're better off with just 4 linear tokico or eibach springs that fit stock
  5. Someone help him pull the "disappearing problematic neighbor" trick! i kid!
  6. because you don't want to be cruising in vtec at 80mph. That's what acura/civic guys would do: hook up a v-afc controller that also moved vtec shift point to 4k rpm, and then complain about fuel economy because they'd be turning 4k rpm in 5th on a regular basis
  7. LOL @ motorsports' 26lbs weight estimate. Those are some seriously heavy springs, considering they weigh about 15 lbs for all 4.
  8. the bartender says "you know, I've seen just about everything out there... hooks, eye patches, peg legs... but what's with the wheel?" Pirate replies: "YARRRRR!!!!!!! It's driving me nuts!"

  13. how about you guys just put "WARNING* or "Not safe for work* in the thread title?
