I rented a spring compressor from autozone for free. Man the rears was a major pita. The rears took me around 3 hours and the front took me around 2 hours. I dont know why but the front dropped .8 and the rears .6, which im really happy with.

Fanman, your front should get lower eventually. Also if your mechanic didn't tighten the suspention bolts while the car is rested on the ground, that will affect how the front sits.

I've had them for almost a year, so I don't think it going much lower by settling. Also, I have seen a few cars with Tein and they look about the same. It's just the RX8 in general. Oh well, still looks good to me. In general I will give up looks for performance anyday.

The Mobil station is at the Las Virgines Rd exit off the 101 in Calabasas. Debating whether to take PCH or the 101

Hey Guys!
I am SOOOOO SORRRY!

I got toasted the nite before and I was wayyy to hung over to drive out. I am really sorry I missed it guys. I am sure X-Ped took good care to show everyone the roads!

See you guys soon!
POST THOSE PICS!

x-ped

lol, thats cool. We should set up the date for the next meet. I'm thinking Sunday August 7th so more people will be able to come, alot of people work on Sat...

Hey Dynamic do you think your friend can post the pics he took?

clmantis21

yea... Sundays sound like a better idea

also... why do you all have them so early?!? Most people are tired (or hungover) early Sat or Sun morning. Why not later in the afternoon or evening? The sun doesnt set until 8:00 pm right now so a cruise up at around 6 would be fun (and not too hot).

Just a thought...

Razz1

The earlier the better. Morning is always safer than mid afternoon traffic and tourist.

You have to make the commitment. You don't have to make every run. Either you drink the night before or you make the run.

StealthFox

werd mid afternoon performance driving? you've got to be kidding me.

if we were really dedicated we'd have meets at 3:30 and end them around 6:30.

i agree sunday is better we go out golfing on saturdays so thats why we can never make it

clmantis21

yea... I'd have to agree with stealthfox.

and... Its not about wanting to get drunk the night before. I just personally think that meeting at 9 am on a weekend is too early. I guess you fellas are used to meeting at this time by now.

I just thought that not having to worry about waking up really early and enjoying your weekend a little bit and then going out for a nice sunday afternoon or evening cruise would be more enjoyable for most of us. I also think that a lot more people would show up. Especially for those of us that dont live in Malibu, which I think is most people here. I for example live in Fullerton and would love to join you all, but its an hour drive to get there... so that means I'd have to be on the road by 7:30 or something... on a Sunday, for a meet, you've got to be kidding me.

just my $.o2

either way... i'll do my best to try and make it out one of these days. Hope its sooner than later.

StealthFox

yeah and if we have our meets at 3:30 am then some of us stay up types can just sleep in saturday and take down a can of redbull and head out w/o sleep :D
