Yeah, back when I  was trying to find a private label brand for Motorworks, I talked to some folks about them.  Not worth the headache in my book, but I have no personal experience.

That is what you get for not taking the plane ride out here for DATR!  :wink:

Tell them you are with the guys that put on DATR, see if that gets you anywhere since they kicked in a sponsorship this year!

I am all about ghetto modding, but Torching springs is bad and wrong.  I have removed more fucked up torched springs than I care to think about.  

Destroys the spring rate and the metals properties, as well and making them sit crooked, etc.  Cut them - yes.  Torch - no.

Well, the kit is on there and the car looks good. I'll snap some pics in the morning after I wash it.

The Vogtland springs actually feel really nice. The FK dampers aren't too stiff, but they're a nice improvement on the stockers. I'd say for a daily driver, its a great combo. FK Dampers and Vogtland springs. Hmmm. Virtually no body roll in hard cornering. Surprising.

Thanks man. Even though the springs feel good, I'm still a little bothered by the experience. And to top it off, he charged me sales tax on my phone in order AFTER he told me he wouldn't b/c it was considered a mail order. Some other dude there said if I called back on Tuesday he'd make good on it, but its yet another hassle in the drama of dealing with these guys.

Anyway, all is good. I just posted pics in another thread.

Nate and Scott. Nate said he had the stuff, then when I called back he was chipping a car, so I dealt with Scott (and ended up buying the stuff from Scott).

Will do. Ed posted something in the Capital Area forum looking for a dyno guy so I applied, but I guess he needs someone on more than just weekends.
