There's typically more, but quite a few local owners were out of town for the holiday weekend.

That silver one you're parked next to looks much lower than you.

SamDoe1

It's because of the hard top. Hard tops are heavy.

I'll park next to you Tyler, stock ride height fo lyfe. (there's no way I could lower mine even if I wanted to, it barely makes it up the driveway as it is)

^^^that's literally the ONLY acceptable reason.
I think Tyer is working on it though...driveway isn't a reason for him, it has a whopping 1 degree incline over the course of 100 yards.

SamDoe1

lol, yeah my wife's stock ride height 7G accord will scrape if she hits it hard. The S has to slowly creep up at the least steep spot, the Jeep doesn't give a fvck.

Well...I must be getting old cause I ALMOST didn't lower the V. Almost.

SamDoe1

You are old, you drive a station wagon.

Bunch of smartasses in here, but for some reason I stick around

I was going to pull the trigger on a set of Bilstein PSS9 but they were going to be over $800 more. Tire Rack was running a promotion on Konis and I got the entire set for barely over $600 shipped TylerT was nice enough to sell me his Espelir springs for cheap, so I won't have much in this setup. It's being installed today, I'll share pictures soon

CCColtsicehockey

How you would know your barely on here anymore

*you're

And I've turned into a lurker recently, especially since my car hasn't changed much

CCColtsicehockey

Don't be a lurker. We are all friendly and don't bite. Well not too hard at least.

SamDoe1

Congrats man!

and FWIW, my car hasn't even moved but I still post. justsayin.

I'm excited for ya braj!

For aftermarket springs, they worked great on OEM shocks but I'm sure you'll get even better dampening with the Koni yellows.

Once they're installed, mountain run ... STAT!

CCColtsicehockey

Maybe someday we will get Tyler to come to one of the Dragon trips so he can really enjoy the S on the mountains.

CLtotheTL32

iTrader: (3)

Thanks everyone I'm really excited! I would love to hit up the Dragon once it warms up a bit.











Tease level 1000

The car is complete but I wasn't able to pick it up after work as planned. I'm getting it early tomorrow morning

Steven Bell

How far away are you from the Dragon?

CLtotheTL32

iTrader: (3)

Not as close as you might think; it's nearly 250 miles one-way

TLDude876

iTrader: (7)

that's pretty close considering the guys from Houston made the 17 hour trip last year.

CCColtsicehockey

Don't let Tyler fool you it is a nice easy trip from where we are. Start around 9am. Head to two hours to Asheville, NC which is on the way and stop for lunch and have one good micro brew since driving obviously. Then continue after lunch another two hours to the Dragon. Do this on a Friday. Have all day Saturday to drive the Dragon and other roads. Repeat trip through Asheville, NC on the way home on Sunday. By far one of my favorite trips.

Hurry up and get those things installed mang

That's bad ass!

Damn that sounds like an awesome plan

I picked up the car early this morning and the ride is absolutely fantastic. Pictures will be shared later

CCColtsicehockey

Plus if you do it with like 8 people in a 3 bedroom cabin it isn't that expensive to stay up there. We had a 3 bedroom split by 3 and it was just under $200 for the two nights we stayed.

In for a Dragon meet lol. Dude, that suspension upgrade is the t!ts!!! Can't wait to see some photos and hear your impressions.

If I ever get a Vagon replacement I'll definitely have to tag along...

00TL-P3.2

Surely the AMG would be a blast out there
Just keep away from the Vs on wet roads.

juniorbean

iTrader: (5)

^ Oh I'm sure it would. The wife would probably enjoy that trip too. She likes Asheville and likes cars. She may even let me drive

CCColtsicehockey

Just bring one of your karts. I am sure it will be a blast on the dragon.

CCColtsicehockey

My first trip to the dragon was in my V and the roads were wet. Was really sketchy and since I had only had the car a few weeks I was to scared to take anything quickly. The TSX is better suited for the dragon Anyways.

juniorbean

iTrader: (5)

That would be sick. Maybe I can get my hands on a shifter kart.

It's absolutely filthy but I can't tease anymore







I've put about 60 miles on the setup and I'm extremely enjoying it. My only gripe is that the car has a bit of a reverse rake; I'm hoping that with more time and mileage, the front will come down a bit and match the rears. It might be due to more negative camber in the rear compared to the front (-1.3 front, -1.8 rear) and also that the rear tires are more worn than the fronts, but I can't say for sure. Everything was preloaded before final tightening, but I'll most likely do the front again after breaking in the shocks a bit more. I'm very much an aesthetic person so this is really bugging me
