Take a drive on McKnight blvd, by the airport.
I think I'm gonna have to go see a chiropractor because of that daily drive

No thanks, I know exactly what that is like there.

That stretch of road is tolerable on stock struts. I'm intrigued to see how it feels once I change to KW V3's.

I'm getting pretty antsy. I want to install all my goodies. Still waiting for a couple of key items.

They filled most of it today. Now its more like tolerable, last week there was pot holes all over, was kinda fun trying to maneuver around them

Some of your goodies are already installed Mr. supercharger...

I'm waiting for the Ground Control front camber plates, Whiteline rear LCA's, Tomei exhaust & front pipe (no header or overpipe on the market yet).

The exhaust can wait because I'm (so far) happy with the power on stock exhaust, but I can't fit my Summer wheels until I can adjust F+R camber to get them inside the fenders.

I purchased the KW V3's through VEX Performance. The exchange rate is murderous right now (it's better at 10% today - I bought at 14%).

Self or shop? Any recommendations?

Did it myself with my dad (he has a lift) took about 10 hours to do springs, shocks, sway bars and camber plates, but at least 2 hours was fucking around trying to get the new front sway bar in without dropping the sub frame brackets (so close but impossible) and also a few hours machining a aluminum metal collar for my camber plates to sit properly on the strut shaft for the front end.

Anyone in Calgary have a good tint shop? Also, anyone have 50% tint all around? It is what I am thinking of getting, but am not sure what it would look like in person on our cars.

Its Ultramarine. I have 20% on my other car all around, only got one ticket. I think its a bit dark. If you don't mind me asking how much did your tint cost? Feel free to PM

Anyone have some 17X9 RPF-1s kicking around they don't need?

I'm at 20% on my Ultramarine and I've had no problems with the cops yet. *knocks on wood*
I think 20% is a good look for this colour.
