    Yes, we'll trade cars again. Although your car will make me want a 3.7 that is not in my car budget!
    Drivers School form in the mail today, can't wait.

    Is that the concenous?
    I have been really happy with the ride, still experimenting with the koni settings. I would not consider it harsh at all. Stock was squishy, now it's firm. Keep in mind the roads are pretty good around here, no city driving with this setup yet.

    Looks nice! Are your rear koni's adjustable? Do you have to take off the strut to do so?

    Yes, have to take everything back out. They are on full soft now, i will probably change them in a bit. I wish the rear adjustment was external like my roomates prelude.

    You made me go this route when you said:

    Re: loving to drive it... still do!! Have you had a chance to really test out the new suspension? I forgot if you mentioned your sway setup.

    And... did Jeff really let you drive his 3.7?

    Default of course he did...

    It's starting to loosen up a bit, about 1800 miles on it so far.

    Erik was gentle with it.

    I haven't really been able to test it out yet due to rain and my sprained ankle. I will go hit some on-ramps soon. Stock sways for now, I want to get a feel for it like this.

    Yeah, Jeffs car is fun! Was still being broken in when I drove, It really kicks at 4k. If is interesting to compare the 3.7 vs. my basicly stock drivetrain (eat).
    Got to drive Martin's earlier too! Both cars are very tight

    Erik,
    What is the fender to ground height front and rear? I am looking into lowering my 535im down here in Olympia.

    I believe we have twin cars, yours is white right? If you are up this way you are welcome to test it out!
