    Nate-

    Thank you very much.

    Dad was not too happy about me taking so many pictures. My grandparents roof is slate....my house has just regular shingles. Today I went for a 100mile drive and I cannot complain about how the car rides. It is stiff, but not too stiff that the entire car shakes when you hit a bump in the road. On curves the car is nice and level and feels really in touch. Does not feel bouncy anymore which is good. According to the numbers we are running the same spring combo. I wonder if yours are more 'settled' being that they were on the car way longer than mine were installed on any car? So far I am very happy with the purchase.

    Thanks again Rick for the pieces. They worked out superb.

      Some pics from this morning. I went out to Captree State Park with my friend and his 87gt T-top and took some pictures. He liked the car. He seen it when I first had it all normal and such back in 2006.

      This car really stands out in the sun!

          Thanks Jason. It was pretty cold in the morning..Below 40 Fahrenheit...but my heater blows over 114 Fahrenheit so I was nice and toasty in the car!

          My friend took some pics of me driving!

                The pictures of the car going down the road are really, really cool.

                I've got limited seat time in my car with these springs; I'll have to give an update when I can really take it and ring it out.

                      I have a lot of people gawking over the car driving around. I really like the stares I get from her.

                      Thank you Nate. I wish my friend Rob took a few more because I think they are awesome looking as well.

                      Thanks johnunit. You can say it as much as you feel like as I really enjoy hearing that others like the car. It is flattering because I have first hand done a lot of things to her...this car was built, not bought.

                              for the record, I'm still :fucker: those springs. Maybe it was because of the springs you had on it, but I didn't expect it to make much of a noticeable difference, gee I was wrong. lol
