HAHA, my friend used his friends civic that was tore apart in his garage to get the fronts done. It prolly took him about an hour or so. I'm hoping it settles another couple tenths of an inch yet. Not that it matters with coils in the future tho

Forgive me for my randomness, but I was at the gym tonight (and I've noticed this before but I wanted to ask the drivers of the 6mts to see if they noticed the same thing I have had) and my left l3g was significantly more toned in my quadriceps n my calf than my right leg. Like to the point of my calf being deformed vs my right lol. My only explanation has to be with the clutch. Driving it for c-ose to 3 years would certainly affect it. Maybe its just cuz I used to work on my legs a couple years ago. Just wanted to see if anyone else had noticed a difference in the shape or tone of their left calf/legs? Sorry for the awkward question, but it was really bothering me tonight when I was lifting :$

I would have to say you are crazy. Two reasons: 1 you use your right leg probably as much or more on the gas and break pedal and 2 people usually have some thing like this where one body part is slightly larger than the same part on the other side of the body (very common with feet and hands).

Haha, well that may be true. But I'm not crazy in saying that one leg is significantly bigger than the other. I thought I would just ask, I'm sure having a good amount of daily protein doesn't help the cause either. In regards to your comment about the gas pedal, the pedal itself is just a light pressing, where the clutch is a quick hard push and let off many times. I will just have to show you next time I wear shorts! (I did manage to pick up a few more pair) ( My left calf is shorter and bigger where my right one is thinner and longer, grosses me out to look at it lol). Damn you all anywho!

Congratz Lance, you should get an Android Phone so you can get Noom and hold yourself accountable like Peng n I. Nothing like motivation to see your friends busting their ***....especially with South Beach going to be here before we know it!

When car magazines try and guess what future cars are gonna look like and there specs, I rarely believe them. They are usually about 10% right.
I agree... they're like the weather people!

This is a debatable subject cuz Mike is right that pressing the clutch is different that pressing the gas or break but also Taylor is right cuz your body isn't really as symmetric as you think. AND Lance is right as to Mike should go to bed and not stay up late thinking about this lol
