buy her a massage or some shoes first, then she'll let you get whatever you want. thats what my wife does anyway, but somehow i dont think thats the norm.

Got the coilovers on the car today and I have to say WOW, huge improvement. They are at the softest setting right now for break in, but even still they are firm and precise. body roll is virtually eliminated and they give a great firm feel of the road without being harsh. in fact the ride feels almost like stock and is very smooth over bumps but still just feels very planted. They are also very quiet and dont rattle or clunk at all. The only thing i have noticed is a fairly pronounced "squishy" fluid sound from the right rear shock over low speed bumps. Not sure if this is normal its not the air compressing sound normal shocks make but everything feels fine. When i get the chance im gonna adjust the height just a tad but out of the box they are set almost perfect. I'll take some pics when i get a chance.

pics!

took some time this morning to make some minor height adjustments which i have to say is soooo easy on these. only takes about 5 minutes per corner depending on how handy you are with a jack and a lug wrench. took me about 45 minutes to do all 4 corners (i adjusted each more than once).

anyway here's a few pics. gotta say I'm glad i splurged for the rear adjustment extenders. very high quality and acurate and easy for adjusting without removing the back seats every time!
