Johnny...
What was Justin's reason for passing? He's not liking the low life these days...but if you wanna get your stance looking right, adjustability is key. My SS ride smooth and have been going strong AF for a long time with no sign of giving up.

Johnny...
I'm a firm believer in keeping your stock parts...
but in the end, I have an attic full of shit that I'm sure NOBODY would give a flying fuck about buying.
Even if I reverted my suspension to stock if I ever sold...how much is someone gonna pay me for some used SS?

Fuck it...live a little.

Indeed...
they can go a little lower than the SS...
but who the fuck needs that? I was plenty low.

Yep, dampening and height...
and they are SIMPLE to adjust...especially with your little arms, you can adjust them with the wheels on the car...not like the annoying and track inspired (read harsh as fuck for an old timer) megan/f&f/bcracing with separate preload.

Everyone that's ever ridden in my car has said...
holy shit, for as low as you are, the car rides so smoothly.

Thanks,

I was sort of hesitant because of my last setup with f&f coils...it was harsh and a bear to work with..

With your glowing review, ill probably hit him up and do the swap soon... thanks J

Kevin,
curious...are you being funny when you misuse sale and sell?

Johnny, anytime, my friend...
I wouldn't hesitate...they are a quality coil and I don't know why the fuck the are so cheap nowadays. Them and the H&R street performance I have on the S2000 are the same design...super easy to adjust.

i don't think it would have been feasible to pay for shipping both ways nor would it have been cheap either.

I actually shipped some busted ass tein ss that some member ripped me off on for $55 bucks across country...so $120 for shipping back adn forth...

what's not likely is the guy being okay with any down time while the suspension ships back...

especially once you tell him they're yours since he's your brewski broski.

I already messaged him on FB saying let's do it (last night)


I just wanted to make sure it was a smart decision and I wasn't going over my head. I don't want to pay a shop to do it so I'll probably do it myself.

Shit, I've never noticed... I usually type way too fast, and then hit submit before someone walks by.

Now that I think about it, I've been doing that a lot lately.

If it's any consolation it's been a WHILE since I've done any DJing. Now I just want a turntable to listen to good vinyl

I'm not planning anything. Never said I was. Can't prove anything. Wasn't me. Not my DNS/computer; I leave my router open and anyone could have used it. I have no idea what you're on about.

Shits just getting hectic. New semester started so I gotta get the lesson plans approved and start breaking in the newest batch of illiterates (because I'm am engrish teacher, remember?). Plus I fucked up and got more responsibilities at my other job (the hotdog cart where I do stupid math so I can buy a rubber tweeking pussy every two weeks).

Bitches be tryin' ta' keep a playa off his game but I'll be around. You might not see me but I'll be seeing you.
