    Re: Non bacon car

    STs also suggest mounting upside down.. makes adjusting them a breeze with a socket and extension from under the control arm...

          Wow you must have a heavy foot. I'm rarely getting into boost unless I have too and keeping the rpm around 2500

                Hmm.. Maybe I'll try one tank of gas completely easy driving. No boosting at all...
                I remember reading somewhere about a bad fuel filter causing worse mileage as well as carbon deposits? Anyone have any other suggestions? Maybe I do just have a heavy foot... But boost is so much fun =P

                  Re: Non bacon car

                  Well some cars run extremely efficient at highway speeds and bad in city due to the tune, my Jetta for example gets 375/tank in the city, 680/tank from Calgary to kelowna, its unitronic stage 1+ with lots of extra timing... So if your car has a different tune it might explain why yours is so different than Danny, I dont think Danny's foot is that much lighter than yours lololol but yeah bad fuel filter and clogged injectors can affect performance quite a bit.

                    Thanks for the great advice on dropping the subframe guys. Worked great and the rears were pretty easy. I'll be doing the fronts after I get home from work tommorow if anyone is interested in some garage beers. Probly around 3 or 4.

                        Well a few reasons, first was price, I wasn't even planning on buying suspension this quick, but at 45% off, it was hard to pass up. Spending like 750 on coils rather than 3000 or more on bags frees up some cash for a project I want to pick up this winter.

                        Second was that I already know how to drive low, and never really drive many places that I need to get over stuff other than the occasional speed bump. I've always had a lot of respect for guys who drive slammed on coils.

                          Few photos of the car with the coils in. i just kinda threw them in adjusted at about halfway down on the threads. It will come down more when i get some wheels. It already looks soo much better.

                          Also, despite being a ***** to clean, I'm so happy I'm back in a black car again. anyways on to the pikturs. Enjoy
