Official Tampa Bay and it's neighbors trend

ok so whoever is coming i will see you all on saturday. 863-412-3418 is my number for directions. i am meeting up with Ozzy tomorrow night to get the impact and the impact socket for the towers. remember you dont have to be installing parts to come by and hang out. everyone is welcome. I have Bud light and sodas. we might just order some wings or pizza. will decide once everyone shows up.

 

my goldlines are 1.5 drop all around so it shoud look like Jaun's

 

where does Frank live???? pm directions please im in tampa

 

are you going to the meet then?? im going i could save you the drive and bring them since im goin to the meet tomorrow

 

thats fine, but i was gonna come anyway and hang out since i am off. if i decide to not go you can get the stuff from OZ then

 

you should come out to the meet it pretty good at the waffle house now

 

I'll go to tomorrows meet. I wonder if there will be a lot of new cars? Maybe someone got a caliber for christmas.

 

hey, hey, hey i don't have that many miles

 

Thanks for the sizes Juan! Yeah its a 2" drop in the front and 2.4" in the rear, slammed like Ozzy's car lol. I've driven his car before and its not that bad actually but it sits really low.

Yes

Ozzy and Tim have the Sportlines. So both cars are slammed.

Ozzy doesn't have that much mileage on his car but he's had the springs for a very long time. I think he said it was one of his first mods.

 

I did get sport lines for him for christmas. I had help from Frank on where to go for the them. Thanks again Frank.

 

not a problem, if you need any other gift ideas just let me know.

 

springs

All Lowering springs are fine if you aren't always in and out of bumpy roads. Usually it goes (the lower the drop, the more stress that goes on the stock shocks). Now lets say you work downtown Tampa.... it might make sense to not lower your car at all. As for me, I tried to go right in the middle of things (Eibach Pro Kit). Most of all my driving is done on the highway going to and from work, and all the streets from there to home are paved real well. I've had my springs on for over 50,000 miles and have had no problems what so ever.

And for you track junkies... make sure you check your spring rate on your springs that you choose. The higher the spring rate the less your car will squat at the tree before you take off.

All in All... there's a wide variety of springs for our car and all of them are pretty good. Except IMO the Mopar Springs (Lots of money, Very Little Drop... not worth it).

Only other bad thing about springs..... THE FUCKING INSTALL!

 

my install wasn't bad

 

i need help finding a gift for a nagging wife that doesnt involve anything ticking... she's a wise one...


is there a spring installation meet in lakeland this weekend?

im down if there is...

 

Havok, are you still on stock struts and shocks? I am with the Pro kit and its not comfortable.

 

^^^ Yes I am. But like I said in my above post... I'm all highway! If my stock shit goes one day, I'm going the coilover route. As far as comfort goes, it's fair, but to me it's worth the drop.

 

Thanks for inviting us over. I'll bring some beer to help contribute.
Damn I wish I was off that day so I could sleep in.

 

yes over at my house. you can either meet up with Jesus or I can give you directions

 

ok sounds good see you on Sat.

 

frank, i'll prob be over a little early. are you right off I 4?
