Another Saturday Morning
At Exact...
Synergy was having some work done so I dropped in -- Hmmm, something is different but I can't quite put my finger on it. Then RMMGS4 stopped by for a chat. Got CL members coming out of the woodwork!

Synergy,
the slight front rake looked good; too bad you'll have to bring up the front.
Make sure when you go back to John to raise the front that you go with a full tank of gas, so you don't get that low rider look with the rear end lower than the front !
Hmmm, rubbing at freeway speeds? How stiff do you have the front shocks set? Crank it up as stiff as your willing to go. I've only rubbed my front tires when I was going 80+ on the freeway in a sweeping turn and hit a big dip. (front shocks clicked to full soft)
You don't want to be rubbing the tire too hard at that kind of speed. Could prove disastrous. Your car is lower than mine and with 20's, so just take care.

i have rake look on my gs4 too. basically if you get even finger gap front and back you are looking at a rake setup. anyway, funny coz' i know my front must have rubbed somehow coz' the fender lines are all tucked in already. but then i never felt it... even now i still don't feel anything....
but either way when i put on the so3 i am going to raise it a up a bit

You've got 19's and Synergy's got 20's . When John test drove Synergy's car, he drove it up the shop's driveway "quickly" and we HEARD the tires rub from 30 feet away !
Calvin,
let us know when you'll be in the neighborhood, maybe we can get together with the other locals.
Looks like Exact is becoming a watering hole for the Local CL members. One of us is always there having something done !

This coming Monday John is putting on my LSD and half shafts as well as a tranny cooler. I am also going to ask him about installing my turbo.

Sounds like your car is finally coming together. Is he gonna get it all done one day? If your going to be there, I might be able to stop by and hang awhile.

He is doing the LSD and tranny cooler only. I will not be there to watch since I have to work.
I am only going to discuss the turbo install. I have a 4.5"x23"x10" intercooler core I am going to try and fit in the car as well.
