Alex, Thanks a ton for hosting our party. Let me know if you have any free time coming up and i will help you with your brakes since we ran out of time before we got to yours.

Brandon (aka The King), it was fun working with you, and thanks for showing me how to do an install like that. I'll let you know when its time for shocks for the Black Pearl.

hehe

Glad I could help out. Next time we need an air compressor, an impact wrench, and a second set of spring compressors. That should really speed things up.

Wow, I missed a ton of posts between Friday and the party, whoops. Alex, what are you doing to your brakes? Sorry I kinda missed the main part of the party, had a busy weekend, good to see everyone, though, however briefly. Nick, hope your springs have settled!

I was mistaken. It had been a while since I did my install and when I was working on the cars this weekend, I remembered having to drill out the metal plate for the shocks. Had forgotten all about that.

That's weird, I hope you didn't drill the plate since you were just installing aftermarket springs on factory shocks this weekend. It's only necessary for the Konis (and maybe Bilsteins)
