Interested in the pads. PM sent.

Not really sure if I want to lower my car. I mean it looks better, but the way I leave my town there is a stupid bridge where I would have to see if I can pass. How low is your elsabor67 and what springs? These say it will bring my car down 1.2” front and rear, which isn’t that bad I think. Or any other recommendations?

I would say yes unless you want to upgrade your shocks and struts. I have the Pro-Kit (springs/Shocks/struts) on mine to include rear Eibach sway and UUC front adjustable sway. Only reason mine looks lower than the 1.2 up front is because I have adjustable camber plates that are shorter than the stock setup. There is a guy named Harlequin on the Australia sub-forum I think that has the same setup minus the camber plates. The pic of his car will give you a better idea on how yours would look lowered with that setup on the link. You also benefit of the better handling. I would jump on it if I were you.

If anyone wants to stage prior to moving to Nauders I can sleep several people at mein Schloss in Pliezhausen. I'll even fire up the grill (Weber Genesis God bless my wife) for true Texas style Fajitas and Free Shiner Bock.

Shoot me a PM

I wouldn't be opposed to meeting up at your place Friday evening. I told my buddy Matt that I was going to take Friday off. If we meet up at your place that would save me half a day of leave AND give me access to true Texas style Fajitas...

UPDATE---- it’s been difficult to find a place for all of us and up to 20 cars because many hotels and pensions don’t have that many rooms and/or parking available during our Stelvio Pass drive dates. I have finally managed to find a hotel ( in Nauders, Austria) that can give us 15+ double rooms.

Right now I reserved for two nights, 16 Jun and 17 Jun, departing 18 Jun. Hotel is totally willing to work with us to shorten or increase the stay.

If you have two people per room, per person is 35euros when sharing a double room and 50euros if you want the room by yourself. … with free parking and free internet and free breakfast. Some of you might be traveling alone and willing to share a room with another person.

Website: http://www.hotel-dreilaenderblick.at/new/

How does that sound for the group? I have made the 15 reservations in my name for now so please identify next to your name how many people you need a bed for.

The way I see it, we have a number of different situations so let's add the type of room so everyone gets their choice "if possible". The hotel has a reservation for 15 double rooms but we can probably make that more if more guys want a room to themselves.

I just need a head count 24hrs out so I can hit the commissary up for skirt steaks. We season it with Adams seasoning that mom & dad carry from San Antonio.

Steve
thanks...

[JK135i]

Dackel, something else you might want to add to the final info update is the fees for driving in Switzerland, paperwork ( passport/ international license, etc), last Esso station before crossing the border, and any other details that are important things for people to know and have before they depart their area.

[135i OREO]

And meeting points/times, once they are decided

Steve, I'll contact the hotel and see what they say...to confirm, you want a room that sleeps 4 adults or is it 2 adults and 2 kids or what combination?

Justin be sure you got db killers on your exhaust. Swiss cops can be a pita.

+1. YuP! I once saw a Blitzer (photoradar) in Swizerland, but it was checking how LOUD your car was as you drove by! And IF you were too loud it tok your picture!

The way I drove the Stelvio last year... I went thru Innsbruch, Austria and then thru Nauders and crossed the Italian border. At the top of the Stelvio you can either proceed straight down further into Italy or turn RIGHT and go into Swiss(CH). We could avoid Swizerland really. When you turn right and head into the Swiss side... that is also where the road turns to gravel! So we might want to avoid that part anyway. I am no fan of Swizerland anyways: everything there costs more than DE or IT.
