Power Supply?
If it's here in this thread, I missed it.
What are guys using as a power supply for the car when working with DAS or doing flashing? I don't want to run down my car's battery. Any reasonably priced alternatives out there?

Unless you are 100.% sure that you are calibrating ride height on a perfectly horizontal surface (such as an alignment rack), it is gonna be tough getting dead even gaps across both sides of the car. I blame this on the rear struts sharing a single sensor.

i understand, the funny thing is that the front ones are dead even, could it be bc i have almost half a tank of fuel? could the weight cause it to ride up?

Gus, I had similar problems with my external HD and what solved it was using a dual power adapter USB cable that gets power from two USB's on your laptop but only sends the signal through one. Mine looks like this.

Once I used that my external HD worked great. For some reason the HD wanted more power than my single USB port would provide. Give it a try it is real cheap.

Anyone in the Central NJ, Eastern PA area with one of these fancy toys? First priority for me is to get my car lowered.
Also, does the lowering affect ALL SETTINGS or just Sport 2?

good to hear, now you boys with the externals, if you have the HD space, put it on the laptop and forget dragging the external around!
