Somewhere pretentious, I would assume. Joke. Joke.

Killer numbers. Just give in and buy one, Brian. You know it's going to happen eventually.

Thanks. The car came equipped with the 'Super Track Pak' option that has Bilstein shocks from the factory.

Again, forgive my automotive ignorance, but "dampers" replace the stock shocks, correct? Eibach does make an application for my car. Less that $500.

After a few hundred miles with the Eibach Pro-Plus kit installed, I gotta say I love it. Really flattened the car out. highly recommended, at least for the 2012 Challenger R/T application. Only one I have personal experience with, at any rate. EBC Sport Series rotors & Red Stuff brake pads are next on the list. Or maybe sub frame connectors. Probably both.

I was once asked in a job interview to "name a negative quality about yourself". I said "Well, I drink. Like a lot". Got the job.

The Eibach anti-roll bars are as big as Hell. Yesterday afternoon after picking the car up from IPS I took some turns I've taken literally hundreds of times over the past three summers and the difference in how the car behaved truly was remarkable. Those same twists that produced not insignificant body roll are now flatly negotiated, even at increased speed. Car feels much....tighter? If that makes any automotive sense. The drop, while there, wasn't dramatic by any means. I've read they settle a little lower with time. I like the look. These cars came from the factory with way too much fender gap. I'm unsure how much of the suspension gains are related to the springs vs. anti-roll bars (other than the obvious bars being responsible for the reduction, or frankly elimination, of body roll in the aforementioned familiar turns) but it was immediately obvious upon the first hard brake application that the nose of the car didn't dip near as far as it had previously. Which was pretty fucking cool. Prost!

Got the R/T back a couple hours ago, hit some favorite twisty roads and although it's an overused term, the difference truly is like night and day. Car stays flat as a board in the turns. Far less nosedive under heavy braking. This suspension upgrade is going to make the car much more enjoyable to drive for sure.

Trusting people in general is ill-advised, in my personal opinion.

Now that would have made for good TV.

Then I'm willing to bet you're not either a sociopath or a religious fanatic, a particularly nasty potent potable combination. Homo sapiens are a pretty fucked-up species, when you think about it. You don't hear about cetacean beheadings. You simply can't reason with people who do shit like this. They have the zealot gene. You just have to eliminate them from the gene pool as efficiently as possible.

My goal is to get to literally half those numbers. Sometimes, a man has got to know his limitations.

Jesus. 806? This car drive on the street?

Pretty much exactly how I think it went down as well. So in this scenario, is the cop justified in eliminating Mr Brown's right to due process by shooting him in the forehead? Or is the cop a murderer?

Fair enough. But I would submit that Mr. Brown wasn't shot for the illicit procurement of cigars at all, but for his subsequent actions. When he allegedly punched the officer and attempted to gain control of his weapon, I'm not up on Missouri case law, but I'm willing to bet those are felonies.

Stealing the cigars? No. No I don't. His subsequent interaction with the officer? I have no idea if it justified his shooting or not.

Roughing up the clerk a misdemeanor as well? Key word there is 'felony'. Yeah, bullets tend to do that. I'm guessing Brown thought that was the reason he was being stopped. Admitted pure speculation on my part. So I won't win a Pulitzer. I can live with that.

Well, he had just committed a felony. Just saying. I'm no friend of our increasingly militarized police forces here in America. Far from it. I see them for what they are. Having said that, the officer in question apparently suffered injuries during the initial altercation with Brown, when his (the officers) weapon was discharged inside the cruiser. We, or at least I, don't know who actually fired that shot. Those witnesses who testified Brown was executed while attempting to surrender also said that he had been shot in the back, which the autopsy proved false. I personally can't believe a word they say after that. The media has a "sexy" narrative that drives eyes, so they set that fucker on boil. It's mob rule. Have to wait to see the officer tell his side of the story. It's a perfect ratings storm. Trayvon 2.0. The real reasons go much deeper.

All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others. Vanilla Ice said that.

OK. Dropped off car at IPS for the springs and anti-roll bar(s) install. They say they're backed up, so they probably won't be able to get to it until next week. Got a good CR lead on summer tires for next spring as well. Sub frame connectors next? Or is there a more obvious modification choice to improve overall handling that I'm overlooking?

The car is stored over winter, so it will need new summer tires in the spring. My tolerance to noise is high. It isn't an issue. I guess I'm essentially looking for the best all-around performing tires for a street-driven application. I'm not Bill Gates, but budget isn't a primary concern. Let's say 2K? Understood. No clearance problems, just curious as to handling performance (if any) gains. Again, thanks to you and everyone else that is providing much appreciated input. The car is going to be dropped off at IPS today (schedule permitting) to have the springs and anti-roll bars installed. We'll go from there.

Thanks very much. Under steer would be my issue. Hopefully, the anti-roll kit will help ameliorate the problem. Also, has anyone had any experience with the Eibach PRO-SPACER kit for the wheels? They are available for my application as well.

My condolences on the loss of your father.

Well, they've been killing each other like it's their national pastime since 632, so I doubt either sect will be willing to "hug it out" anytime soon. Iran is already fighting ISIS by proxy in Syria (and Iraq) with Hezbollah.

Ordered both front and rear anti-roll bars from Eibach (through AutoAnything) today.
