Within a 10 mile radius. I actually need to explore more. I have some ideas for Spring time. Just take a ride and look around your town. There's potential for great backdrops everywhere.

Does look good, but damn I'd be scrapping all the time. As it is with Tein S-tech and MS struts I have a tough time going over speed bumps and such. How do you do it kyobi?

I'm lowered on aftermarket Australian made springs
Though I'm gonna be looking into some sort of coilover that will give me a similar drop when our dollar gets better against the Yen or US$

I only drive the 8 when I know I'm not going to deal with huge speed humps or steep ramps

You're just on springs huh? Any adverse effects on the handling? I'm looking to drop my car but I'm a little apprehensive about lowering springs on the stock shocks. I don't care about ride comfort but I don't wanna screw the 8's already superb handling. Probably gonna go Tein Basic when my wallet is fat enough.

Thank you. At 9psi I'm getting 350 to the wheels. Come summer time we'll throw 14 psi at it and get around 4 bills
