Man the air is bad in Cali! Oh wait,, that's fog right?

And why does it look like a clown is driving it? Maybe the County Fair sticker in the window has something to do with it,,,

I thought the wheel set up looked good.

Funny thing, you guys know who Bob Bondurant is right? He owns the high performance driving school stuff. Well he lives over here by MM and I and I see him on occasion going to the track. He drives a Smart car with a Bondurant Driving School sticker on it. Pretty funny.

quick question...

how long do any of you think i can drive on one blown coilover?

i got a new set of coilovers,, havent put them on yet cause i got my hub replaced and seems to not make any more noise.. i guess my barring went out...

but.. theres no noise anymore... and was thinking it was my blown coil.. but i got my car back from the shop and now theres no clanking or anything...

but i know for a fact that the coil on the same side i got my hub replaces is blow..
so how long do you think i can drive on it?
cause as of right now i have no time to install my new coilovers.. and i need to drive my car.. so ya... let me know.

you mean strut or coil? I'm assuming you mean strut. you can drive on that for a while...

the longer you drive on it the more pressure it puts on the spring and the spring can deform and compress and now you have lopsided springs and the car looks funny.

+1 w/shady regarding the blown strut.

You CAN ride around on it for a while - should you tho?? no...

Don't go driving around for months like that tho. get it changed out by this weekend at least...

angelo; have you seen the thread?? really a lot of good info regarding the pss10's n' other stuff.

I've always liked bilstein but i've been under a rock as of late. Been too obsessed about wheels that i haven't really been reading up on suspension like i should I was gonna pull the trigger on some stances or some pro 7's n' call it a day but these look so legit i might wanna hold out.
