I decided to go with the Pro kit.
Reason against the Sportlines are to lessen DS to tunnel issues and (possible) tire to fender clearance over bumps.

The Pro's should take the drop to where I want without the above issues. I will attempt to pound down that steel hump in the tunnel though for extra insurance.

As far as camber adjustment, I know I'll need the cam bolts, but I'll see how far it's out before buying them.

Ray, you interested in the Steeda Ultralites?
Might set you up for a package deal.

It'll have to be quick though, I'll have to return the spring compressor soon after I install my springs/D-Specs.

I missed it again.
I sent UPR (auction host) a PM asking if they have another set for the same price.

Hey Leo you're not the only one that doesn't have an IPOD. I'm IPODless, but not for long I'm waiting for GEN2 then I'll make the move. I'm done with Sprint and my Treo 700, web browsing is a joke. I will miss my "Palm A Sutra" software however. When I went to MacWorld it was rumored that GEN2 maybe out by late summer 08 we will see! I have enough American Express Reward points to get one now the wait is killing me can you tell?

From their current auction description...

" Private Label Silver PowderCoated Finish Pro Kit ! "



I don't doubt this 'Private Label' thing, but because I've never heard of this, I'm going to call Eibach in the morning and verify this.

To my knowledge, I thought all springs were painted because of springing action and not powdercoated because it'll crack.


edit: Comment from of their negative ratings;

Not original Eibach product. Item was used and listed as new.

Brian - I've never covered mine. A phone is a phone is a phone. It's been banged around and holds far better than any phone I have ever had

Jon - Looks like you're one step closer to burning rubber

Just let me know when you are doing it and I'll check my calendar. I know you'll take care of me!

OK for the record I'm a POTR guy and i DON"T have an iPhone

I hardly use the cell I have now and if I'm lucky nobody will call me either. I never answer the cell unless the caller is in my phone book.

You boys and your toys........................

No Iphone here either.

BTW, I have a question for all you Camera people.

I'm going to buy Photoshop, as I can still get some GREAT deals as a student before graduation (I guess graduate school as some perks ), and I'm starting to get more into photography as a hobby.

Anyway, I can get Photoshop CS3 extended, or for about $35 more get Creative Suite 3 standard, which gives me (most importantly for me) Acrobat Professional. The only downside to standard is that it is the regular photoshop, not the extended.

From those that have photoshop CS3, do you think I really need the extended. It seems like it just gives 3D animation stuff, which I don't think I need, but am not sure.

BTW, this is MUSTANG RELATED!!! because most of my pics are on cars (especially mustangs). Will that make a difference in deciding which photoshop?

Do you think I should get the standard suite for my use, since I have a definite use in acrobat pro? Would the photoshop extended be needless in my application?

TIA. I know this probably could have been asked a specific part of the forum, but I wanted a response that was POTR specific, as we have everyone from hobby to professional photographers on this thread

Mike

No Iphone for me, but I do have a kickass Mogul from Sprint. Full internet access, selectable WiFi, four email accounts, Microsoft Excel, Outlook, Word, etc. with a touch screen and slide out QWERTY keyboard.

I just blew Phil's mind.....

No mind blowing here Tom, last thing I need is all that kind of access lol I get quite enough as it is with normal DSL connection.

If I could just talk the Mrs. in getting rid of the phone answering machine

As long as I have satellite TV , HDTV, thats all that I need

Sounds like an install party, SoCal Style!
That means you'll be the 'host' of Pizza & Beer. Everyone's had their turn in the gauntlet Ray, now it's your turn.

Leo, will need your help with the UDP since you got that flywheel holddown nut mastered from your car (Ray's is an Auto too).

As far as dates, that's a tough one. You can't install the springs until I install the Pro's and D-Specs, and the soonest date I'm getting my car back may be the 12th. We'll have to wing the dates as everything depends on when I get the car back.

As for price, how's a 100 bones sound (POTR discount applied)? I paid ~275 shipped for these things.

Be aware that you'll need an alignment after this or risk uneven tire wear.

That's what I'm thinking too. I can see the silver PC flaking off down the road.

Cool avi! I shot that and coined that phrase!

Iphone-Good I don't feel so left out.

Stillen open house-I'll go if I'm in Hawthorne that weekend.

Bill/Ray-I'll be more than happy to help. Let me know when you get a better idea of the dates. Remember Fab Fords is April 20.

Don't remind me.. I hope my car will make it to the show.

Ideally, I'd like to have the D-Specs and Pro kit installed by then... we'll see.
