I have 2 each of the following:
14"x165# red Eibach
12"x125# red Eibach
16"x250# blue Blue Springs
14"x175# blue Blue Springs
Are those springs for the 2.0 or 2.5 shocks? :) :) :)

I might have to take you up on a couple of those springs...  The guy @ FOA (Mike?) said I should run 25 to 30% droop to start with...does that sound right??  I am going to double, and tripple check my measurements, and re calculate things according to what FOA is telling me.

Still waiting for my coils, and axles...BUT here is some picture porn...lol.  It REALLY needs a wing, not for function, but for looks...it just needs something there.

very nice work man!  I like the attention to detail, and the body work as well!

Mastr, I may be interested in the 16x250 springs..  Got a pair?  hehehe  pm me with details so we don't muck up this thread.

All I gotta say is you guys are killing me...  You have all this open space, and I have tight woods.  Don't get me wrong, I love the woods with a quad..  But I'm quickly noticing I want more and MORE  open space!  And I've only got a single seater piranha..  Im starting to like the bigger cars like yours, but there's no way I could ride that near me..

At least I can look for now ;)  LOL

OK, I built a wing this week, and it turned out quite nice, if I say so myself!  My axles came on Friday, now I just have to find the time to install them..

All right!  I got the coils on it, the axles in it, and took it out for a cruise around the block...The EMPI morse shifter cable failed where it is crimped together.. thumb down  I am having Valley Truck make a new, industrial streignth one today..  It felt really good.  First gear take off was really smooth, and it pulls hard in second and third!  It does however idle really low once warmed up.  So I have to get to the bottom of that one.  There is one sensor I have to figure out what it does, and where the vaccum line goes, but all in all, it is up and functional!  Man it felt great to drive something that was a pile of steel a year ago!

Congrats.  I think the wing balances it out visually very nicely and no doubt makes it faster.

Looking Good Justin!

What size cable are you running on the shifter?

I was running a 10-32 cable..now its a 1/4" cable.  I drove it for about 20 minuits, and it is good to go!  6th gear comes really quick 8)

 Just a thought have you considered raising the wing about a foot ?
