No it's not the toe adjustments on the outside it's the metal collar that runs threw the bushing and on the outside of the collar it seems as washers were pressed into or connected to the collar. I may have to get a picture it maybe easier. So it won't hurt to have shorter springs in the rear and longer in the front as long as the spring rate is ok? Mike I'll be calling you for an alignment once I have it all together, do you mount stiffer tires also?

I wouldnt say it took any time at all to get used too. The car is really just amazing at what it can do.

went to opening day at prp yesterday with some local evo/sti kids, saw a riced out r35 (trust me its possible), couple fast imports, nothing crazy. even saw a few people blow their **** up all over the track, but not as much carnage as i had anticipated.

anyway, i saw this red viii parked in the spectators lot (only from the back and like 30 yards away) with jdm bumper, blacked out tails and a PA plate that says HEREVO8. saw this girl with a buschur hoodie get in and drive away. she looked pretty good from where i was standing. anyone know what she's all about???

id probably hold her hand in public, even if she is gross.

THE END

finally figured out what the clanging noise was on my exhaust...the drive shaft has a shield around certain spots...and one of the bolts from the shield was just vibrating against the exhaust....easy fix
