Weren't you scheduled for the 3rd? ???

Re: What did you do to your boss today?

Yes but the dampers didn't ship on time. Hopefully I'm dropping mine off on Sat and pick up next Friday and I'll confirm that tomorrow.

CorteX/JRi DA rears, 18mm sway and Eibach LCAs installed.



Not sure if the adjuster should have been mounted facing in or outboard:

Rick and Grant 302, do not forget to post a thorough review with lap times difference on the very same tires! that is going to be the best.

Re: What did you do to your boss today?

Ha. I don't keep lap times and that's not why I upgraded the suspension. I did it so I have better control of the car as I push it. All of my upgrades are for safety (as I go faster). ;D

Probably too late for that on my car. My first/shakedown runs will be on take off slicks for the first time.

Dang. Nice Grant. Is that some kind of offset lower bracket?

NIiiiiiiice Grant 8) Have fun on slicks!

Not sure if the adjuster should have been mounted facing in or outboard:

If you mount them inboard (ie: Facing towards the pumpkin), they can be adjusted without pulling the wheels off. If you mount them outboard, it's easier to adjust with the wheel off.

For those smaller adjusters, it's kinda just a preference of which you prefer to do. No real right or wrong.

Thanks! And that's the CorteX hardware for their coilovers. Nice looking stuff, and great fit.

Will do and Thanks! And know that you were part of the inspiration to do it sooner than later. 8)

Thanks for the reply. That's what I was thinking while I was putting them in. Mounted them facing outboard because I figured I'd have them set when I swap wheels/tires. Might opt for a 5-spoke wheel next like CF5s so I can reach through.

Wait. Are you running slicks for first time? Oooohhh man. Are you ready for another addiction??

LOL First time on my current cars! The addiction was rekindled when I went to Track Attack and then drove the FR500S. At least takeoffs seem to be a fairly reasonable expense.

Not 'directly' for the Boss, but I ordered a lift, 220v power, insulation and a gas fired heater for the garage.

Re: What did you do to your boss today?

SURE...We understand.
The road to recovery is to amit you have a problem

Just saying ;D

A lift is a great tool...Heat helps also

Grant:
Wow, Your new suspension set up looks Sweet! Darn, I was so happy with my T's and Sports till I saw this. Hahaha, Seriously though, good luck this season with your new set up and keep us posted on your preferred settings once you get some shake down time in.

All the Best

Re: What did you do to your boss today?

I was going to but the roads are still so crappy I am not sure I can even get off my street (still no pavement visible)! Stock Pirellis on her at the moment, too. Debating if it would be worth moving her at this point. You never know. This could be the last of it or we could have another blizzard...or several. I have a hard time making up my mind, lol.

I know what you mean about the roads. In addition to the crappy drivers around here, we also have the salt and poor visibility at corners. I was trying to avoid having you expose the car to all of that by moving the trailer to you if you have the space in your driveway or load it into the trailer and store it here.

We are about to break a record... 71* in Denver today. I'm sure we'll freeze in Hell come March though... but not me

Awesome! Glad I could help further the addiction and wallet-lightening lol...Looking forward to your post track report.

302 Hi Pro

Thanks Dave! I feel like I'm so far away from finding preferred settings...so much more to do and adjust now!

I'll make sure to pay it forward too

Did the front today:

Took a couple of short test drives, and the difference in grip is a-freaking-mazing!
