^the fact that you guys were at the Men's Room 1000th after party means you sir are certainly not a douche-waffle. Did I forget you guys were showing up too?
I guess I didn't realize you were for sure. Are you going to do the coilovers?

While it wasn't as big a turnout as we thought, we got springs installed on Justin's car, Jason (nemsin) got seat lowering brackets installed in his, and he also added an MR badge to his front grille. We had good company, good eats, good drinks, and I think I may have reaggravated a hairline fracture that didn't fully heal from last year as a further plus!
Thanks to Jordon for letting us clutter up his driveway, and I hope the free food/drinks/company was worth it. Extra thanks to the dog that shat in the yard right where I got down to check clearance under Justin's car.
Jason, those springs aren't nearly as bad as they would seem. Justin went from "I should have paid the $200 to someone..." on the first strut to "I'll take $200 to do these for someone" by the 2nd strut. He even wants to pull them all off and do Bilsteins now!

Thanks Jordan for letting us invade your driveway, yard and house to do some grilling and work on our cars. Had a blast and it was great to see everyone I havent seen in forever and great to meet new people. Doing springs sucks. But ya, the difference is nice so I either want bilsteins or get coilovers. Thanks to Dan for helping out and snickering everytime I swore. We need to do this again soon.

It was good times.
Well if you cut your time in half on the next install you will be golden.
It wasn't as bad as the Muk BBQ I had hotdog buns for a year after that!
BTW time to start planning #2?

I think Mihn and I are going to be doing my springs this Sat. in Seattle. If anyone else has a project they want to get to as well I am sure we can make some room.
On an interesting side note, it turns out that the seat lowering brackets actually slightly increase the distance to the pedals. Sure the seats slide just as far forward and back as before, but the sitting angle makes it so short people (like my GF) have a hard time engaging the clutch.
I might have to adjust the clutch pedal to engage earlier for her
