It is about an hour to hour and a half labour. So whatever deal you can get from a shop

Got the springs from Modern Performance. About $320 or so CAD at the door.

Your talking underneath? If so, I never looked at the spacing before or after.

Doesn't matter to me where we end up (within reason of course)
Maybe a park...we could have a picnic. Victory Red SS could make sandwiches. I make a pretty mean iced tea....

I'm down for whatever guys

I just need some notice, especially if it's a sunday cuz i usually work But it's very flexible so if i have a weeks notice i can usually bail. Where we gonna do it tho??? I was thinkin' if you guys don't mind more of a day-trip type thing, we could maybe do the Whistler drive...i've biked it before and it's really nice. I'm not sure what the highway is like since the construction but it might be something to look into.

Just a heads up guys. Mothers day is the first sunday in may. So for the younger or married with kids this may not be the day to play with the boys. Again there is plenty of time to plan and I can get away on the first Sunday in may.
And a road trip is cool as well.

lets go with may 07, and now we can work in generating interest even outside of the forum, i notice some guys in my area with ss/sc, got to get the word out. when i was back on the vibe/matrix forums they had these flyers you could print out some members were flyer ****** they go around putting them on these cars everywhere it sure does generate interest for the forum.
