No pics yet. Haven't had five minutes to park the car and shoot.

But as I wait for class to begin, I have come to the conclusion that you should decide how firm you want your rears to be BEFORE you put the wheels back on. The car is half-springy because I stiffened up the fronts (super easy) but couldn't reach the backs (super hard when the wheel's on).

More pictures to come this weekend while I'm in some scenic areas... in the daytime. You know, when I have more than 30 second at Stop 'n' Shop on my way home from class.

They're good, if a little springy. I love the ability to adjust the front dampening by pulling over, opening the hood, and spinning a knob. The back is another story, but I've got some ideas as to how to get to them without having to take each rim off, and it mostly has to do with creative parking.

I haven't tried to adjust the height yet (out of the box, a thread-count made them seem uniform, so I was happy), but it shouldn't be that hard once the rim's off.

My only gripe is that I have to re-learn what a speed bump is.

I've stiffened them up, and there's still spring, but not as bad. I'm going to try to soften them up at the other end of the spectrum and see what that does. Fun!
