LOL!

Took a break from the sun and enjoyed reading some of the forum. This thread was particularly entertaining.

Do you know what is worse than an engineer? An engineering student. (Insert whatever profession you want here BTW).

Age and experience trumps youth and enthusiasm every time!


Happy 4th everyone!

Well said! I am a mechanical engineer and I don't even like hanging out with other engineers!

Anyway, I at least learned something about coilover advertising. Thank you WoL for clarifying the shady word-smithing of the competition.
I just get lazy to write in proper grammar.

Out of a vertically mounted 12" coilover?

Please provide photographic evidence including complete vehicle setup.

you're the one who makes the kit - you prove me wrong with photographic evidence that shows exactly how much vertical travel your kit provides. please show a measurement of what your kit provides from a full bump to a full droop with your required bumpstops in place. if what i've seen is wrong and you can prove it, i would be the first to admit as much. of course, why you haven't done so already is a mystery to me. but hey, that's just me.

So - you get to claim whatever you want, and it's up to the manufacturer to disprove? Dr. Pepper is full of unicorns. Prove me wrong Dr. Pepper

clearly, you can say whatever it is you want to say and people can believe whatever it is they want to believe.

Already in the works so stay tuned.

To be clear - our front bumps are not required, and limit straps are also not required.
