If you find Vader13, ask him if the intrax springs he has promissed since April 2003 have ever come in....
You need a better enforcer if he is the one you are counting on :p

Mr. Anaheim_Drew:

Actually, I was relying that you would bring Vader... you are in Anaheim... that is a heck of a lot closer ... hmmm... for some reason, Vader seems to always dissapear before a Mb meet... what's up with that?

Seems we will have to take the flock of crows squadrant to find Vader!...

Cheers!

Vader

I'm not a Vader13 fan. He told me that he was expecting a shipment of springs he designed with Intrax that would give a big drop. This was in June 2004 so I waited and waited, nothing. I then did a search and found that this is the same story from last year. Still no springs.......... So I am moving on...... Send the Crow fleet to his shop

Doug,,, look at the front wheel gap...... I like my rims but they are 16's. I worked a deal today for the following mods to be done on Wednesday;
Full tint with moleskin for protection
H&R springs installed
Calipers painted
Clear corners
Less than $600 total

yeah there is a gap. so like a 2" drop is what your looking for probably?

that's a great price. what color you gonna get the calipers painted?

i was considering doing mine at one point. id love to have Citron for mine (probably impossible due to the high temp of the calipers) or possibly yellow. not sure if ill ever do it though.

I would love the calipers the same color as the car.. Dark Blue might pass for Amythist.

Mr. Anaheim_Drew:

Impressive the things you are getting done on your car!!!.. finally you will be able to wear that crown that is so rightfully yours!...

Mr Vader... hmmm.. that is another story... before the last meet, he sudenly dissapeared... he must be "busy"...

Good you are getting your car dropped... even with H&Rs you can't drop the car all the way down to the max of the shock, otherwise you will rub like crazy. Hopefully the shop knows what its doing, then you'll be fine.

After the drop, you won't care that much that you have 16's on your car. One good thing is that you won't rub on 16' rims at all.

Cheers

Drew, aren't you afraid the rims may look alittle small for the car if you drop it too much? Mario does bring up a good point!

LOL, Mario, your freaking hilarious. Everytime I read you posts I wonder "Did I do too much coke?"

Drew, I say all around it is a great plan. I wouldnt go to much of a drop though, i wouldn't slam it. Tighten up the wheel gap if you plan on keeping the 16's, tint and painted claipers =

Amathyst speaks for itself. Way to go SPC color brother!
