Default This forum has cost me alot of $$$

I've owned many cars over the past 15 years (too many, according to my wife), but this is the first one that I have felt bold enough to mod.

Default It hasn't cost me yet, but I think it will - do you have a pic of the R28's?

Actually, I say it hasn't cost me yet, but by reading this board I ended up buying the 2.7T instead of the 3.0 (and damn glad I did).

Anyway, I am strongly considering the R28's but I would like to see a close up pic. The pics on the Ronal site don't do it. You wouldn't happen to have one would you? Do you like the Ronal's?

Default Those stptechs will be available soon. What are the heights from the floor

to the center of the wheel well after the springs? Have you got the shocks in yet? I need the stock springs for testing. Do you want to sell them?

I'll try to measure the height for you. I put the shocks in yesterday....what a difference. I think the new springs were overpowering the soft non sport shocks.Unfortunately, someone already took the other springs.

I'm going to be nervous to drive on 1A if you keep the mod process going :-)

I love the Ronals. You're right, the Ronal site really doesn't give a good photo. If you're in MA, I could help you see them.

Default In the mood for a road trip, but VA to MA and back may be a bit much

Maybe I'll e-mail Gary@Ronal. Does Ronal sell the matching center caps or did you get them from Clair?

Default It gets worse...

When you run out of "standard mods" and start inventing your own...

Integrated Motorola V8160 Docking station anyone? Perhaps a phatbox? 600W amp? ;-)

See you on 128!
