Bad news- while it was lifted I noticed a fluid coming from my front right strut. They said it's probably blown. Lus fusz said I have to bring it in to see if it's covered under warranty. So I have my fingers crossed. If they won't should I go with kyb or Monroe?

man i have front and rear oem shocks for sale that only had 14k miles for $100 i live in columbia but could get them to st louis pretty easily through brett or one of the other guys. might be an excuse to head that way anyway

Do want. I will probably start my suspension upgrades soon by getting Progress Tech sways, and then get these.

well i have the konis and ms springs along with eibach front and rear sways RB front endlinks and agency power rear endlinks. the ride is a little rough but not that bad over all but the car is much stiffer and the car handles much better with almost no body roll.
i gave Charlie a ride i am sure he could tell you what he thought compared to stock.

take two sticks tie some fishing line to them and start working the line behind the emblem. after the emblem is off there will be a residue left on the car. use a product called "goo gone" and that would take that off. Then it is a buff and shine where the emblem was.

I haven't seen it on any 8's but it was a 6 that gave me the idea. I don't think it looks that bad. It's def different. Thanks for your help boropunk.
