You want cold, let's talk about the 60-below wind chill factor.

Okay, how bout I try to get this thread back on track?
There, that's a practical use of coilover's adjustability. Who would ever want to change them every time they go to the track?!? But a seasonal change = makes sense.

I don't quite understand the people who say wait till spring, are you guys expecting him to take them off and put the stock springs back on come fall again? Just do it, unless you plan on changing your springs w/the seasons you're gonna have to deal w/it at some point in time, think you aren't ready now?

BTW, it's "her", not "him." Haven't you been paying attention?

Yeah, I thought the same thing. What diff does it make if I wait? Because I'm not gonna take em off next year. Think of it this way -- I'll get the winter started before the springs settle completely, so by time the snow melts they'll be at their lowest. Actually, I don't know how long that process takes, but it could be a bargaining point with my dad. Oh yeah, he still doesn't like the idea very much.

You read my suspension setup I'm planning get and thatss basically what you're getting. I was talking to a friend of mine who knows his stuff, and he said that our setups w/stock shocks/struts will blow in a month, especially with the amount of miles I have(63k). He suggested getting all of them, springs and shocks/struts. Especially since with this many miles, they are likely gone by now anyways.
