Yes Jason, ... we can only adjust the weight with coilovers. But if you'd like to weigh it to see where you stand, let me know.


as a side note, a very common question about coilovers is "so what will they do for me that spring/struts won't?"
Well, this is just one of the many reasons why I believe they are superior.

Sean... if/when i swap around my wheels (18"s & stock 16's) will the car still be corner balanced ?

I know sometime i gotta get the car balanced... but i also know that i gotta be going back to 16s to make it a bit softer ride for the girl & my spine, kidneys, liver...

This Saturday is kinda tight for me... so i'll probably be on the "next time" list...

On Saturday i'll be around the corner from u guys (@ John Dominis restaurant) until about 1130am... I'll give ya a call on that morning to see what the shop schedule looks like... Your number still the same? Mine is...

yup, number's the same

and yes, there would be significant differences between the rims.


If this Website goes down, as Alex put out, Then please check the SpeedHawaii forums, I'll post over there if necessary int he Speed Gear section.
Or just call me @ 780-6351 please to confirm a time.

I think it'd be good for everyone if we can do the 'weigh-in's' at the same time. So maybe around noonish or something it looks like.
(My plan is to corner balance one car first thing, then do weigh-in's, then proceed to do the other car's corner balancing.)

ok, so Pat is goin first at about 1000-1030, and when we are done with his car, I'd like to get the cars that just want to be weighed done. SO that should be around 1200-1230.
As soon as we get done weighing cars, San is next to get his car done. And then Joey's if his car is outta the shop.

Anyone else want to get their car weighed?

Thanks a bunch, Sean and Mike, and Farid.

Haven't had a chance to see what it's all about yet. Too much traffic.

Oh yeah. 3449lbs total.

Is that with or without baby seat, TA-50, 3 or more laptops, spare & a bag of tools?
