I think he meant the 20mm spacer for the fronts. My front wheels are like mm's away from rubbing the shock; luckily I didn't need spacers. I'm surprised you have rubbing issues in the back though. It's probably because of the 10mm spacer and the more squared edges of the Falken's.

20mm for the front. ill call Vincent@EuroRev tomorrow. it was a pain to remove the spacers in the rear today.
Joe, the tires were rubbing against the front strut. We tried all kinds of spacers until 20mm cleared and gave the tires room.

Back to the meet........I think we should have another meet at the Boiling Crab............and for the drive afterwards.........we can have a spirited drive a whole half a block to the coffee place J/K.
Actually last Thursday I went back there with some friends, but we got there at 9pm and they said that we were on the "no guarantee" list. We had some beers and we waited and finally at 9:55 (5 minutes before closing) they said we can eat there as long as we ordered our food immediately (before the table was even ready). We ordered our food only to find out after we were seated that they were out of sausage and only had a couple of corn left. It was still good, but by the time we got to the "coffee shop" they were closing. The girls were dressed and ready to leave.
I have been to the new Gyu-Kaku at the Topanga mall. It's good but I think Korean BBQ is better. Actually the only Korean BBQ restaurants that I have been to were in Korea and the Korean/Asian neighborhood in Sydney, so I don't know which ones are good in the LA area. The reason I like Korean BBQ better than Gyu-Kaku is that you also get condiments, garlic, and lettuce to make mini lettuce wrap sandwiches with the meat, but we didn't get any of that at Gyu-Kaku. I also prefer the flavor of the Korean marinades better.
I think most (if not all) of you are single, but for us family guys it's almost impossible to get away from family duties on Friday or weekend nights....at least in my case. Weeknights (especially Thursdays) work best for me........not that you guys should change your plans on my account ....

So whats the plan, Lets do Friday at Gyu-Kaku or Lighttown House. Dinner at 7? Then we can take a drive down PCH or go to Irvine and get some Yogurtland?

3. Nerweezy + 1 (the boss, I'm putting this down as an assumption)
4. sideeffects

Hey Stev, I am in. But might be late since I am off from work at 6:30-7 PM and traffic going south is usually pretty bad.
