We can try on Sunday if that works, but I'd prefer to meet just before 10AM if we're doing photos.

Damn Ethan sorry to hear you're having problems. Keep us updated. I would suggest dealing with this guy named Anthony that my entire family goes to. He might be a little too far though. Lmk if you're interested.

Also...anyone want to give in their input on the Progress rear sway bar? I was ordered one as a belated Christmas gift...

AEM DryFlow Filter 21-205DK. Once I've recovered from surgery, I'd be fine with helping you swap it out.

The RSB is a huge diff in helping control the body lean and flattening out turns. You should notice an immediate diff on turn in and understeer

I'd suggest he also couple it with a front strut bar & set the rear for now on a soft setting.

Yea Rick I was definitly going to leave it on the softer setting. I read that the stiffer one caused peoples frames to crack. But that was with stock suspension. With mine I believe I could set it to the stiffer one, but it's not necessary so I most likely won't.

Drive it first with the soft then go from there. Stiff is not always good just sayin. Sometimes a softer setting will yield you a faster time. Keep that in mind.

I've asked for the whole day off, so we can do anything. Depending on the weather & if it happens, we can discuss it at Starbucks on Sunday morning.
