This definitely made my day a little better -- I'm glad everyone is so HAPPY!

@toyota2bmw - i'm hoping they come end of next week. my 996 coilovers are in the shipment as well as a few other sets. my hawk distributor has about 9 sets of the rear brake pads for me so you should be good when you're ready.

@redeyejedi - glad you're enjoying the coilovers!! when you're ready for 20s, i hope you give me a chance to earn your business.

@pjinca - just make them as stiff as possible and see if you like it.

LOL not so sure full stiff would be very family and spine friendly, but I can definitely go a little stiffer without sacrificing too much ride comfort.

She think's BMW's all drive "stiffer" which I do agree in a way.

Your car is looking good though. I just noticed we basically have the same car, 545, SMG, Mtec, black diffuser etc and soon Ksports as well haha.

Sure looks like it. But I see that you have LMs. I freakin' LOVE the BBS LMs!!! I would seriously consider selling vital parts of my body for a genuine set of LMs. I would love to see it in person sometime.

Since the coilovers won't be here for another week or so, it looks like I am looking at a week after the Memorial holiday for the install. Hope you can swing it then. Perhaps we'll take some pictures or your ride, John's and mine after the install to show-off the subtle differences in adjustments.

BTW, since I am addressing you and John by first name, I am Jason. Nice to meet ya'all.
