Theres been alot of talk of a mini meet to test the ride quality of diffrent springs lately in another part of the forum. So i though id open a thread in the proper area for us to throw something together. Im not orginizing the meet, i dont have much deatail about it..But Ivan does i belive??
Anyway throw all the idea's in here! Ill be there forsure!

Tyler

 

in burlingame, there are alot of wide open parking lots near the sf airport. we should set up some cones on a sunday afternoon and do it.

 

If it a fit meet, Always game.

 

I would really love to test out my swift springs that i bought like 3 weeks ago but ive been busy with work that i havent had time to install the springs yet. I am hoping to install it before Xmas when it will get alot busier

 

Sounds like fun. As long as there aren't any family activities scheduled, I'm game.

 

i won't be able to go because i'm from socal but hello because i'm in berkeley right now. it's cold here..

 

i second that. strongly. i smoke like a chimney and curse like a sailor. deff. not rated PG-13.

 

i'm down for everything, everywhere!!

 

im down! skunk2 springs here!! also, j's racing rear strutbar

 

Well guys, we need to line up all cars with aftermarket springs first! So far I only count 2-3 of us willing.
Let's get a list going and once we get all major brands represented settle on location, time and date. Weather permiting of course!
1. Ciburri-Eibach Pro
2. Solbrothers-Skunk2
3. BlackCobra-Swift
4. ??????-Progress
5. ??????-Tanabe
6.
Feel free to paste yourself in!

I know that Barnardio is on Progress. I'll check with him.
Alex, what springs do you have?
Do you guys all, still have your original wheels and tires for equal test base?

Ivan

 

i still have my stock wheels/tires!

 

tein basic damper kit right here.

edit: actually my suspenion set up is as follows- tein basic damper kit, tanabe front and rear upper strut bars, tanabe front under brace, j's racing c pillar bar, j's racing roll center adjusters, progress rear sway bar sitting on 15x7 volk ce28n, bf goodrich g-force 205/50-16. haha i guess people can get an idea of what a completely set up suspension feels like.

 

damn!! baller!!

 

I won't paste my name in, you know that EXWRX and I will represent stock springs/wheels/tires at least at the present time. Ciburri, macbuddy, and I are all working on finding a way to get a set or two of the KGM dual rate springs. No success yet, but some things are in the works.

If any of these schemes are successful, before I install these springs, I will buy or make some polyurethane spacers to keep stock ride height with the dual rate springs. Until then, I am up for any Fit meet anywhere, especially if there is a technical excuse for the meet.

 

I guess I'll represent the stock fit sport for now, since I'm not working on getting anything for suspenion yet. So I'll wait till everyone with aftermarket setups .

 

Now that the autoX season is over until next February I'll have a opportunity to come to a meet if you have one. My suspension will be stock except for the installing of a front anti-sway bar which will go on this Thursday.

I've been looking for some adjustable dampeners that don't require changing to coil-over springs. If anyone knows of a company making such an animal, please let me know.

BTW, I live over the Hill in Patterson.

 

I might be intrested in going depending on where the meet was going to be. I have GC coilovers, tanabe lower arm bar, front piliar bar, C piliar bar, progress sway bar. just depending on when and where.

 

Guys,

It seems like this meet has picked up and gathered alot of intrest and sounds like its not going to be so mini. Maybe we should just combine this ride quality deal with our next bay area meet in the spring. Weather would be better and we would have a huge group. Just and idea, im cool either way we do it.

Sound like a good idea Tool. Just now we need a date .

 

I'm down to show my progress springs. Just set a date Tyler.
