I could do install the springs for you, would cost you less, but will take longer working out of my driveway and its freezing! I've changed out 3 GD chassis springs already. The only problem I had with one of them was the alignment went off. Not sure why, but it did and had to get readjusted. You should get an alignment after any spring install anyways. I'm aware on the GE's the top plastic trim is needed to be taken out. That's probably the only thing different.

Nah, the whole thing! It's like more than 1/2 an inch higher than the normal roof line. Not flush at all.

Are you sure, I could've sworn it was just the back end where the roof tails off... still might be worth it anyway . It would be like the old vw westfalia pop top campers haha.

I'm not talking about a gap, I'm talking about how much higher it sits from the roof line.

Right, I get what you're talking about now... that wouldn't bother me as much as the back part where there is an actual gap.

205/45/16 works on 16" wheels, but would 205/40/16 work too?

Yeah? It's between 40 and 45 for the Yokohama prada spec-2... gonna slap those on once I get my rims powdercoated. Guess I'll probably go with 45.

Ordered the PRM intake today to replace the K&N one I have on it now.

I've been studying since 7:45PM yesterday with a few breaks here and there. If ya'll need to know anything about short selling, stop loss orders, etc., just let me know.

It is snowing up here on Ignorant Hill and I'm going to wander out for a walk in the woods with my crazy dog.... It isn't cold enough to stick but it still looks pretty cool.

Ok, NOW it's snowing in Waco and sticking pretty well. Have about an inch on the ground. Will probably be enough for the university to cancel classes. Great, on the day I have only one class, they cancel!

Your car even looks good when it's covered in snow.

It is pretty wild seeing this much snow in this part of the state..... This is the most I've seen here in the 15 years I have been here and my car is covered..... I will get to see if it causes any problems having hood louvers..... It bothers me that my wife doesn't want to go out for a ride in her Forester.
