so flew home a few weekends ago and drove her back up here. 11 hour trip and she performed flawlessly! left at around 10am and pulled in around 830ish. I think i was cruising woodward by 10 that night , where i met rich and marcus, which actually led me to this site!!

raised the front an inch so i could soften up the damping for the long ride, current front

Car looks awesome man! How do you not rub frame in the front?  and good luck on the swap, I like seeing someone swap something other than an Ls in
