i should probably do the nitrogen on my new tires for the hawk too..... didnt really think about that... if any of those clamps are inferior, grab enough for me while you are at it, and ill make it right with you. dont want to wait until im standing there scratching my head over it. if you want, we could even split shipping...... just an idea...

 

Who's meeting up this weekend. Do people still meet at sonic??? I met some a guy with a white Z during the winter, he was older. Also met a younger guy with a 06 gto that was full bolt on. The gm scene around here sucks, nothing but mustang GT's...

 

its not that it sucks... just the majority of the people who kept it going have been out of town on work, or recovering from surgery.

 

hey guys, my name is mike im not new to tech but im going to be new to Columbus. im getting stationed down in Fort Benning. i should coming sometime around next weekend.
i was just looking for some input on what kinda of things there are to do around this area. how are you guys liking Columbus? do you guys ever get togethers? or go mess around...

 

hey man, how do you like those vogtland springs? i have a set i want to put on and am curious how you like them.

 

Hey mike, i'm Ron.....i PCS'd to ft. benning in january so i'm fairly new myself....Columbus is alright depending on what part of town you're in....it's WAY better than the Ft. Riley, KS area! lol

as far as things to do i guess that depends on what you like. i haven't gotten out too much yet but from some of the research i've done it seems like there's lots of historical stuff/museums around.....a lot of history from the Civil War down here in the south.....as far as anything else....it seems to me like most anything worth doing is in Atlanta. But don't take my word for it...like i said i'm sorta new and haven't gotten out much.


On a different note...has anybody ever been to Stone Mountain before....i'm taking the wife and kid their this weekend....seems like it will be cool. My kid's a lil young to enjoy it but he might still like the laser show/fireworks.

they ride pretty stiff but i like it man, i wanted something for a little bit of autox and drag racing they are pretty nice though id recommend them... is there any kinda of a street scene around Columbus??

 

yes there is, but there is a brigade on deployment so that has reduced the number of street cars in the area. im one of those cats on deployment right now. should pick back up around sept/oct time frame...

 

Struts are ready to go on, threw alittle paint on stuff to protect it alittle. I will have them on tomorrow sometime.

 

Stone mt is pretty cool. haven't been in a while. Are you still going to the f-body gathering? we are here but heading back to columbus after lunch tomorrow. if you are going to Stone Mt, stop by on your way. its exit 260 off of I-75. wendy hill rd. you wont miss the Marriot. alot of cars here all ready, more coming in tonight.

 

ED! when you gonna get a new toy?

 

I might hit up the gathering on my way...haven't decided yet...i'm supposed to be meeting some people at Stone Mountain so i don't know yet.

 

Beats the hell out of me. my wife's job has changed over the past 2 years and now she is making $1,600 LESS than she was 2 years ago and we have 2 house's we are paying on. So when one sells I should have something to play with.

 

completely undertandable!

 

Well, I pulled the upper spring isolator on the rear spring and the car sit alot better. Should be really close to perfect when I moved the spring perch up on the fronts. I bought a spring compressor just need to use Craigs impact. Need to get some 1/2 heater hose to stick on the rear springs. Let me know what you have going monday Craig and I will get those struts brought over.

 

Going to put the stock springs on. Hotchkis springs will be for sale and got some strano's ordered.

 

why dont you like the hotchkis? did your SS not come with the SLP suspension upgrades from the factory?

 

How low of a drop on those Hotchikis?

Lemme know how much you will let em go for. I'm not far from Columbus at all.

 

They are suppose to be a 1" drop and are one of the better lowering springs out there. They are have 3/8's of a mile or so on them are have some scratches on them from installing them. I will wipe them down and send you some pics tomorrow. They sell for $260 dollars new, due to them being "used" I think $200 dollars is a fair price if you come get them. Heck, they rears were on the car for less than a week and the fronts made it a few days on the car and have zero miles on them. Shoot me your email address in a pm.

 

Legacy has nitrogen i havn't put any in my car yet but there are some guys that i work with that drive a pretty good bit everyday to work and they all claim a 2-3mpg increase. i guess i will put some in when i get a chance to put my new tires on.
