Hahaha, I see that you're in San Jose.
We should get a SF/SJ/Sac meet or something within a 100mile radius, and organize a shoot or just a hangout day.
I'll be less naked in about a month, but probably still no springs/coilovers. Haha.

So the difference between Springs and Coilovers.. is that coilovers are in essence.. manually adjustable hydraulics? I'm not too good with ride height drops, and the steps necessary to do so.
I'd think that coilovers would be more costly because of this added bonus?

Just hit me up, Im down to go anywere for a shoot, meet, anything.

But coilovers can give you the drop of your dreams. You can fully adjust the drop and all that BUTTT they are kinda pricey. I just got the springs for now, im gonna get coilovers later.

I just don't want a Four Finger Gap without compromising ride quality
But ride height is pretty low on the priority for now, *no pun intended*

When I get some time, maybe during the summer when more people are free there should be a planned meet.
Somewhere closer than SD,

Well it just gives the car another look.. Looks better IMO. Theres alot of meets around here. Maybe you should just set up a date and time and people might just start signing up.
