What? What??

My guys said they finally shipped the springs so I'm hoping I get them by mid next week. Still gotta install them which will probably take a couple days (I'm slow). If you want them really bad, just get them. If you're a patient, I'll have pics up as soon as I get them on.

Doesn't somebody else here have the OE's on already??

Oops... No, I'm not a doc (my previous post). Make that "if you're patient"

Believe me, I want them on ASAP myself. Sways will definitely be next. Need to firm things up. Driving my 5.0 today just made me realize how much I miss the hard cornering. (I got it out of storage today to get it ready to sell...)

Sounds good. Do you have a G-Tech to get informal before & after times?

That cold air makes a big difference. Back when the temp was in the 30's here, I managed a 5.93 best 0-60 from a few G-Tech runs. Can't get near that now that things have warmed up.

No, I don't have a CAI. My car is completely stock. I did remove the resonator below the intake but that's all for now. I was just saying that cold air in general helps. Even more so if you've got a CAI. Keep us posted on the results with yours.

From: where the weather suits my clothes
I have a 99TL, see sig. When I bought the CAI, it came as a 2-piece. I simply replaced the rubber gasket that connects the two pieces together with the bypass valve and it's done. It did require me to bend the support arm on the bottom piece a bit to get it to fit, but it is very secure.

If I can get to it this weekend, I'll post some pics
