Re: Whats new with Teh Gheyrod...
I'll get some pics up tomorrow, but the ride is very soft and plush compared to the Tein S.Techs. I almost wish it was a bit firmer though! LOL Maybe I should have gotten the Swift R-Specs instead

Re: Whats new with Teh Gheyrod...
I decided the Bilsteins would be too soft since they're designed for a more comfortable ride. After driving with this new setup I am very glad I did not get them b/c its already a bit on the soft side for me. Overall I am happy though; I can't complain about a softer ride and better handling. I do miss the slammed look though

Re: Whats new with Teh Gheyrod...
The car still looks nice, just not quite as slammed in the front. Everything came out/went back in easy as pie and these springs are an awesome mix of comfort and performance.
They ride *just* slightly firmer than my eibach pro-kits.

Yeah, when I rode in your car, scheides, it was like driving a cadillac through snow, and really really slow.

Re: Whats new with Teh Gheyrod...
Just ordered my new brake setup!
-RacingBrake ET500 pads
-Technafit SS brake lines (black)
-ATE Super Blue Racing brake fluid
I hear good things about all these products and found them to be what I consider the best bang for the buck parts for my street/autocross car.

Re: Whats new with Teh Gheyrod...
Here is a graph showing air temps at the MAF (blue) vs. air temps inside the intake manifold (purple). This was a 3rd gear pull on DB's dyno.
