Hey, Adam, how much did you want for those springs again? I get paid next week I believe and should be ready to take them off your hands.

Well since I took the battery out of the front and its in the back I noticed my car sits weird now, the front ride height is about 6mm higher than the rear so I need to either lower the front or raise the rear.

Also though I took the car on a nice long drive today and everything seems to be working great.

James would hate to see you get rid of the 8...It still kills me, but sometimes ya gotta do it. I wasnt gonna turn down a newer, less mileage G35 to keep my 8....but damn i still miss it. Especially in Florida, there werent any 8s down there and only saw one customized while down there and that was Charlies.

Anyone goin to Midnight Madness on Friday, Ryan told me about it so i think im gonna hit it up. First time in a couple years so itll be interesting to see how it is.
