^or...not let her drive it! 
Those lowering brackets drop your rear, which in effect pulls your legs back a bit.
I don't know if I'll be able to be there this Sat but if you guys would like to borrow the compressors let me know. Also, an air compressor and wrench makes it so much easier. I could probably get that to you guys as well if you really wanted it.

I told her I would get her a pillow to sit on. Seriously though, she was not amused. How hard is it to change the clutch engage point?
Yea the spring compressors would be great (I was thinking I would have to hit up Auto Zones Loan a tool program). Do you come anywhere near Seattle during the week?
Not sure how we would get the impact wrech to Seattle without a truck. But thats fine, I dont mind hand cranking them. I only plan on doing this once.
If Justin decides to go Bilsteins, maybe he could work a deal out with Mihn. I know Mihn has been eyeing those Ohlins in the NW Marketplace.

Well don't hand crank, but you should be able to get away with a power driver with a socket extension.
I might meet Minh mid-week if we do a Northend meet, which we haven't in a few weeks. I think Justin is eyeballing the Bilstein HD struts actually.

Dang, I don't have any good one liners ready for why women can't drive Evos anyways. The seat brackets actually eliminate the 2 or 3 forward most positions so that's also not helping her. If you want to try adjusting the clutch pedal, I attached the pages from the FSM for doing so, it's pretty easy.
I have a compressor and air tools so no worries Dan. Mine isn't transportable in the Evo so we'll just do the work at my place. I have a 2 car garage but the other space belongs to my neighbor but I should be able to convince them to let us use it for the day it we need the extra room. The driveway is seriously sloped so you can't do any real work on it.
I actually met up with Derek yesterday to get a check ride on his setup. I'm sold.
We just gotta find a time that works for both of us to do the swap. You sure you can't baller up and take the wheels off his hands Dan?

Anybody else? Is your Evo still alive Dan? I know Jon is on spring break so he has no excuse for skipping out this week. Well, unless I see him on MTV with Jerry Springer. Do we need to throw out some more sexist asian triad comments to pull Angie back in here?
I'm thinking we should keep the burger throwdown going and hit up The Counter in Ballard. There are a ton more breweries around also if we want to keep that going.
