Hey wes, sorry I gave you some bunk **** man, but I got my gauges in and they're sweet. They match my dash lights almost perfect. I'd be up for a meet whenever. Spring semester doesn't start until January 21st so anytime between now and then would be good. Or we can all cruise somewhere for spring break. That would be tight.

Yeah, right...I'm sure the wife would go for that, lol. Seriously tho, we could go ski or board if you guys want to. Lemme know and I'll look into it if ur serious. The drive here really isn't too bad, it isn't terribly long and it's all interstate and 4 lane highway for the most part. Denver is nothing like Baton Rouge, it's huge and fun. There are a few guys up here that we may be getting a meet together sometime soon....

It isn't a hop skip and a jump, lol. Nah, typically, it takes me about 16 1/2 hrs one way from colorado springs to lake charles. You guys prolly wouldn't be driving into denver, that's another 1 1/2 hrs from where I am.

Ok, after a loooooooong weekend of Christmas shopping, I am officially one broke *** mothaf*ka.
I'd love to go on a ski trip, but not for a few months. The snow might be gone by the time I have the money.

Damn, Greg, why are you spending 300 on springs. Gold Lines only run 130 shipped from tornactive. Do what you wanna do, tho, man. As far as coming to LA for X-mas, not gonna happen. I have to stay. We are going to the in-laws for X-mas as much as I don't want to, that was the compromise for me to get home for the Thanksgiving meet, so.....

Oh well, you give a little.....you take a little.
I'd rather spend christmas a little further north where it's snowing anyway. (of course I say this because I never see snow down here for christmas)

Check out the suspension thread...there is all the info you could want to know in there. But, yeah, if you lower it below factory height, your rear camber is not going to be adjustable, so I would at least get an SPC rear kit.

Yeah, Jody, I talked to Greg after I posted that. He told me that it was for springs and cambers.

Gold Line all the way!

If you're only goin 1.5" lower, then you might not need a camber kit. Sure, you'll have a bit more negative camber than before, and it's always good to have everything perfect, but you won't absolutely have to have it unless you have really low profile tires. With low profile tires, you run higher pressure (40-45psi). This makes the tire stiffer so the slightest change in camber will result in the tire not making full contact with the road, and it will wear uneven.....but if you have a higher profile tire, the pressure is lower (32-38psi), and even if the camber is off a little, the tread will still make contact with the road and you won't have any tire wear. I had my car dropped 3 inches with my factory rims and tires on for about 7 or 8 months. My camber was horrible, but my tires never wore uneven. Then I put some 40 series tires on for a trip to Orlando and they wore so much that I had to rotate them in the hotel parking lot before I made the trip back. [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

Cliffnotes: If you have the extra $120, get a camber kit. If not, no big deal.

you won't have a camber problem but i would suggest a rear camber to be on the safe side.

on march 8 theres a big car show in BR so if yall wanna have a big 7thgencivic entry in it and showcase the power of the new civics then we can meet and enter if anyones interested. check out sportsnimports.com for the details.
