    Looking to get $300, the rubber boots (dust covers) are torn from age. Everything else is in great shape.

    well if you like mexican food, and i mean real sonoran food not tex mex there's plenty of that... but to say it has anything more than tejas would be overstating it.

    unless you like to club or drink, scottsdale has a ton of that.

    nothing in arizona that's like a HAVE TO EXPERIENCE type of thing.

    but you'll have to go through az pretty much unless you wanna go all the way north through NM and above arizona lol...

    Never actually dumped mine, so not sure. I would assume they are similar to the k-sports. You should talk to mushroom toy, he would know best.

    Re: Long distance 3Gee? D2's must go.

    Spoke with D2 on the phone awhile back abd they make different weight springs for your coilovers. You can actually tune them to almost a stock ride. Just get the springs you want. I belive( its been awhile ) factory are 800 and you can go all the way down to 200. And I know that is higher than other setups but the guy at the factory said( cause I ask ) it is not rated the same as a factory coilover is rated so 200 is pretty soft.

    Oh ant the dragons tail is very overrated unless you can catch a day that it is not very very very crowded or has a tone of cops lurking around every corner. But some damn nice views to look at whils you are driving around very steap curves at 5 mph.

    Just run the dragon on non motorcycle days like today my last runs of 2011 were uninterrupted. If you go up there on July 4th yeah its just parade laps and choking on the exhaust of rich running motorbikes.

    I have not done it yet. I decided since I am putting 5k-6K miles on in one trip, a little ground clearance would not hurt. You never know what kind stuff you will find in the road.

    Yes they gave me that offer, but I was looking at $150 a spring. My initial setup was somewhere in the range of 1200LBS front 1500LBS rear (so basically a piece of steel welded into my suspension lol). I got all my replacement parts for $400.00, and it rides perfectly. Definitely glad they have options tho.

    About 2 and 1/2" is the lowest I have gone. Not really a fan of ebay since they take a cut of my profit, along with Paypal taking a cut of my profit. If you wanted to pay for that as well I would list it. I would ask for payment in advance tho, so you will be getting the same deal. You can check my status on here, I am well know, and have sold a few items. It's up to you.

    Like I said. D2 raiting is not calculated the same a factory coilover. 200 for them is more than 230 factory.
    I ran the dragon last october on a tuesday befor noon. Still had to watch for cars motorcycles and cops.

    Re: Long distance 3Gee? D2's must go.

    Well all the suspension has been replaced. I am now working on the A/C system. Cruise control will be next, but currently my cruise control does not work. Im worried it has something to do with my wire harness not being factory. I'm also thinking about getting a roof rack, but I do not want one that I have to drill into the roof. Is anybody familiar with a rack that will fit the hatch? Also found oneif my front rims is bent, and my rear tires need to be replaced. I purchased a set of new 15" steel wheels, and tires from discount. I will post pictures of that tomorrow.
