Dude,

Anyone's advice is welcome, especially someone more seasoned than myself, which you definitely are.

Dont forget that there are no top mounts with the wagon kit. Thats more money out of your pocket if you really want a solid suspension.

False alarm. She got me a bigassed craftsman toolbox.

Ironic thing is, such a big toolbox for a big, no-skills knucklehead such as myself.

I am going to get some Tein's someday, though. Probably Wagon or Flex. Just not as soon as I thought.

Pat,

Will have to take you up on your offer one day to check out the secret training grounds at Wheeler. I used to live up there, so I think I know where you are talking about.

I'm really happy with the STi suspension, but I'd really like to check out a wagon with a Tein setup sometime. Perhaps on your Birthday?

I'm pretty much done with suspension at this point other then a rear strut bar (probably Cusco). The adjustable STi setup sounds interesting, but beyond my $$ right now.

Tim,

I'd love to check out a wagon with a Tein setup...mine, of course, but I'm not holding my breath. By the time I when I might be able to afford that, I should be a brand new daddy.

I haven't heard anything on the adj STI setup. Definitely sounds interesting.

Tim,

Good to see you and yours out at the track. You're little boy was eating that stuff up.

Hey, could you point me in the right direction for shopping for the adjustable setup you're referring to? Is it available? I haven't seen anything on it.
