I had dinner at Yokoso's last night. It was pretty good...free refills on the coke was a plus
Nice setup, and plenty of parking all over. Should be a great evening

Im trying to get out of this thing so we'll see. Im hoping I can just stay for about an hour or two and haul out of there before she gets too many ideas.

you're going to enjoy the ride. I have them on mine. they're great quality for the price and provides an alternative over the Tein CS. But after many many miles down the road, the shocks/struts may need replacement due to the wear and tear. So eventually, Tein's will be the best bet for the full suspension replacement. i'm just waiting until i upgrade to bigger tires/rims and look for a good price on Tein's. For now, the Eibach's are performing up to their reputation.
The feel will be a bit stiff at first, but after a while it will settle in and less hard rattles from the dread awful roads we have around here (local and highway). It kind of feels like the suspension floats on another plain w/ comfort and ease. ahhhhhh.....

Damn it. I dunno if I'll be able to make it.
My car has been consuming 1 quart/500 miles for the past few weeks. Yesterday I overheated pretty badly on the freeway, and when I went to add coolant after letting the car cool, I found that the coolant was brown (oil).
I've got a BHG so I'm not sure how feasible a 160 mile round trip would be at this point.
I'll still give it my best...maybe borrow a car.
Cheers,
~Alan

and Flip you can mildly beat up my car if you want to try "performance" driving on the springs. Just no VDIM disable...but I would be happy to demo the car with VDIM off if you really want
