well i am sure synergy can, but it would be a lot more money too, considering that he has just spent almost 500 bucks for the wood steering wheel.

hey synergy, do we have same color steering wheel? maybe i can take your off your hands

Sorry for the tangent, but can you clear some room in your Inbox HK? I tried to respond to your PM but got "rejected".

hey man i know you are going to hate me but i finally remember to look at my car tonight. so here's the deal:

my car right now with 20s, i have 1/2 to 3/4 finger in the front, and zero finger in the back (i can't stick mine in at all in the back)

i looked here and there for the coilover and i found out that for both front and back, i can turn down another around 3/4" worth of threads. now from my experience, that will equal about 1" of drop. so maybe that's what you looking for? but this is a bit tight.

the flex will allow you to drop the car more, not sure if you wanna go that route so it's up to you now

Another inch I think is low enough......So does CS really ride like stock? I actually like it a little stiffer cuz my mom say stock rides like a boat, she got sea sick while riding in the car

well go read my HA, flex, cs review in the handling forum man, it's long enough

basically keep in mind, the cs is soft, but it's no where floaty like the stock. it's soft when you need it. but when you go forward and turns, it's solid feel. specially with bigger wheels, you will get a bit more road feel too

and also remember, i am riding on the softer side of the cs. if you crank it up to stiffer on the cs, i am sure you get more feeling back too

Dampening is near stock but not floaty at all.

i believe the grille retails for about 260? but of course, with the right source, you get them for cheaper
