Is it causing you any problems?

I think you could probably pop that sucker back off and change it out pretty easily.



my car isn't done.
it feels fine, i dont really drive all that much anyways, but it does feel way better in corner acceleration... when could i come by again to do that?

Had I not had people there waiting for me after I didn't see you guys at crown, there's no way I would have gone there. I can't stand that place on Fridays and Saturdays. Thursday when its $3 Sierra Nevadas and no one else there its nice. Unfortunately I called up some other friends when I didn't see you guys/couldn't get ahold of Jeff so they were expecting us by the time I finally saw you all...laaaame.

wed. everything is half off all night. EVERYTHING. crazy good deal.


I'm not drinking right now and I couldn't handle being on the patio because I felt like I was working. Would have been o.k. if I had a beer or jack and coke to drink. Place is cool but a very volatile mix of folks. Way ready to pop off.

Not sure.

I will be out of town for the next 3 weekends AT LEAST. And once the rain really sets in my house is like a death trap of mud. And once the snow starts I"m out of town most weekends.

I should be able to get you those struts pretty soon here though. I just need to assemble them.

I can bring that sway bar in for you too.

The suspension isn't a quick deal. It can take a few hours and it can take a lot more depending on issues you come across. Mine for example. I was missing a bushing so we couldn't finish. So we had to redo some work and it turned in to about 6 hours.

putting the stock sway bar back on should only take about 20 minutes.

The front sway bar requires removing the subframe. You're talking anywhere from 4-8 hours to do the struts and frnt/rear sway bar.

I still need to do my rear sway bar and my front sway bar. I'll probably have to split that between 2 nights.

I can bring the sway bar out anytime. Are you going to get a new rear sway?

I know. I was looking around at the people already figuring who would be the ones to start trouble. Hard to be in an atmosphere like that after working security at a similar type bar.
