Sick pics!
I know 50k isnt too long for stock springs, i just have wanted to lower it for SO long and kept putting it off for power parts!
When i get the springs put in, and after they settle...I SHOULD have the car corner weighted, right? Is there a good place around Milwaukee that you guys would recommend>?
Heres something i found on counter weighing, along with a calculator:

I'm going down there but not sure if I'm running after the TV purchase.The "what happens if something explodes" fund is lower than it was yesterday

So, after the Pool vs cell phone incident yesterday Ive come to the conclusion that the pool won. I get the red screen of death. Hopefully I can get a hold of Erik this week.
I should have the new Z8 here in about 3 weeks. Spent my entire work day trying to find a place that sells it. Need to find something to hold me over till then. Anyone have a working Cingular phone?

Really? I could have sworn i read on here or another board that someone had their car "cornerweighed" after installing springs and MR struts. Maybe i misread it or am wrong.

Well, you can measure the corner weight on any strut, perhaps that is what they meant by having the car "cornerweighed". But you have no way of adjusting the corner weights other than taking a bunch of heavy blocks and moving them around the interior of the car.
Typically the way the cornerweights of a car are adjusted is by adjusting the rideheight at each corner. Since the MR struts don't have adjustable spring perches (99% sure on that) it's not possible on the stock or MR struts.
