Nice look w/ the spacers John, but I bet you're already counting the days 'till you can slap those CVTs back on.

I am OOW on both but have an extended warranty that I may try to slip it through on. I have some other trim pieces that are flaking so it would be nice to have it all taken care of.

My first day off has been busy, and my wife keeps coming up with stuff for me to do. Tomorrow I'm going to charlotte motor speedway to drive a Nascar.
Have fun at the speedway Chris! That's a great way to kick off the time off between the new gig. I did the Indy experience about two years ago. It was a blast!

I need to do that too. It's been two years and it's time. Motul RBF 600 is what I use.

Haven't done a brake job in a while so I'm pretty floored on how much it cost to turns rotors these days (back in my day..... it was 8 bucks a rotor, lol). Cheapest I found was $15 a rotor. Oh well.

Coils went on today, rides excellent. Dropped it a bit lower, will leave it like this for a bit and then revisit.

Wow, Chris... springs weren't even on for a full year before CO's.

Take a pic out of the shadows, and lower the POV a little.

That comes across as creepy. Even more creepy is I think you meant for it to come across as creepy.

Well played Rochester, well played

Looks good. I can't believe I'm saying this, since I'm a function over form guy.... but I think spacers are my next mod

My wife got me a gift certificate for fathers day back in 2013, it expires 12/31/14, so I need to use it. I was a little disappointed to see it's only 5 minutes of track time, and the rest is classroom, but it should be fun.

And it's going to be ridiculously cold in Charlotte. Overnight low is 34. That's like our coldest average coldest. In November. I'll report back on how squirrely the PSS are when I depart tomorrow at 8:30 AM.

I run Motul in all my cars, even my wife's SUV. Good stuff.

You have an S, right? Post your thoughts on the ebc yellows.

Yup, S. I wanted an aggressive pad that I can track and street. Hoping they give me the best of both worlds.

I want a nearby parking lot that was empty and flat for perspective on the shots. My youngest kid goes to that Middle School.

I don't think even 6 months? I can be impulsive... This one is a little better. And added a couple install shots. They're set fairly soft right now, once I swap tires I'll give them a good run. Pretty sure I'll play with the height a bit once they settle but probably won't have time until Jan.

Look at all the aftermarket name-dropping in that setup. That's awesome.

Chris, did you get adjustable end-links yet?

Helps me keep track of where my money goes...

I got SPL rear end links, just went in today. Had to step back for the fronts, what was supposed to fit may not. Trying to sort that out now but may have to fabricate something to make them fit. Playing that by ear for now, will be adding a catch can soon and just booked a vacation so I need to pause for a bit.

Those coilovers looks good. I'm a bit worried about lowering the car either on coilovers or springs just because I might need a camber kit and that is another $500.

Are there any springs that will do minimum lowering and not require a camber kit?

I don't have a camber kit on my Eibach springs, and they'll be for sale once I order coil overs sometime this winter.
