Ah, here you are, over in C5 General...
Very impressive, but I'd have to say that the deterioration in ride quality is a concern at least to us NE residents where the roads are so lousy. I thought having the F55 w/ Z06 sways would be a good setup - it's certainly better than stock - but the Tour setting is too sloppy and the Sport is too firm - set on Sport, there are several local highway bridges where I get air under the rear wheels at only 55-60 (not to mention whacking my head on the roof
) - so I admire your singlemindedness here, I guess is what I'm say. Cool.

With the exception of the 'Armpit of Connecticut' (from New Haven to the NY border) and the Hartford area, I have found all of CT roads to be like glass. Same with RI.
MA is a whole different kettle of fish - and the cross Bronx NY expressway
I will not mention NJ roads for I still shudder at the memories....

I won't be able to make the Hooters run today. Too much to complete on my car between now and 4pm. The Hooters run has been delayed in any case because it is Scott (SGreen4027) daughter's birthday so he won't be there until 7:30pm.
Sorry for the late notice - as I started on the car this morning I realised that I will never be done in time.
Hope you get this - I don't have you phone number
I sent you a PM & email as well.
Stephen

I can appreciate the difficulty you had in doing this work by yourself, as I do quite a bit by myself on my car as well, also accumulating "stuff" until the fall/winter and then installing it all while the car is put away for the winter.
If you don't mind sharing, I'd be interested in hearing your plans for the engine, as I've already started to think about what I may want to do engine-wise next year.
