I guess that means Frank got the V1s from his wishlist? Sweet! Great choice - have yet to see a bad review of them.

Even better.

Have you played around with the dampening much?

AchtungF80 · 08-04-2009, 11:36 AM

Not really...so far I'm really impressed with the default settings, not too soft, not too harsh. The ride is much more dampened than stock even with run-flats the bumps aren't so bone-jarring and I am noticing that I take turns with more confidence and speed than I did before unconsciously. I still have quite a few turns to go before full-stiff too.

Ironically I went for a joyride Sunday night to take my favorite S-turn and got nabbed for no front plate finally. I explained that it was a memento from my European Delivery experience and I'd make an appt right away to get the fr plate mounted. He let me off with a warning. I Just ordered the gominigo tow-hook bracket.

tommy · 08-04-2009, 11:50 AM

LOL - it won't take you long to see what the Benz can do, or more appropriately, can't do. Certainly against the 135 (especially yours with the modded suspension), it's no comparison.

Speaking of meets, went to the crx niagra falls meet two weeks ago - over 100 of us there, which was pretty impressive when they all got lined up together.

15 hours of driving over a two-day period in a teeny fixed-back car is rough, though. I think I'm ready for a Town Car as my next purchase.

I know the word "cruise" sounds so foreign...all we've been doing lately is eating and taking pics.

orangeman1026 · 08-04-2009, 04:26 PM

I am in. That is like 15 minutes from my House and its a Sunday.

amdmaxx · 08-04-2009, 05:14 PM

I still have Munich programmed in my i-drive GPS.
Sadly, it will not route from NJ.

Ah yes, the new shoes. They are already supposed to be here by now. I am trying to be a model of restraint and patience. One of our well-known, California-based vendors offered to let me be one of the first to get the 18" version of a certain wheel which can be had with appropriate offsets. Their last comment was that they were delayed a bit, but should be just a few more weeks. Since the have already charged my credit card I am getting......antsy.

ptack · 08-05-2009, 07:15 PM

Oh, by the way, would you think I was crazy if I suggested you invite our New England friends? Though I doubt anyone north of Mass would bother, the Connecticut folks might consider it. We'll see who has nicer t-shirts.
