I'm going to go ahead and skip my usual reply and just say this:

Do not do it. Read about what a decent suspension should be, then buy.

My car has also been "vault-like" since I tore everything apart and secured every wire, washer, or touching suraface that could have possibly caused noise. I am not quite used to it yet, I am sure the demons will come in the colder temps, noise problems are always easier to spot then.

Ya know when I finally drive up to an AMD meet I will refuse to ride in your car.

See when I have girls in my car awkward silences are broken by my car creaking and rattling. It makes for some of the damndest conversations.

So if I say something about my car being blacker then yours and theres an awkward silence whats gonna save me?.. sure as hell no rattles, so I'll come in the winter haha.

I wouldn't worry about it, I don't like to have extra weight in my car unless I absolutely have to (see: picking up date) so I doubt that situation could ever occur. Apparition is your car black/black leather?

I actually don't mind the grey cloth at all, I would take grey cloth over tan leather any day of the week. I actually DO have some grey cloth seats in my garage but they will be murdered for a project.

I don't drive like that daily. If I didn't want to actually take girls out I would drive a primered S13 (actually I wouldn't but you get the idea).

It also sounds like you are inside of a VQ powered soda can, which is cool for maybe a few days at the most.

I think Kevlo911 may be going but not sure, it would be cool to meet some of you guys as I doubt anyone would have a reason to just show up in Atlanta.
