Smokin has 19's if memory serves, and has lowered his Viper with Eibach springs.

Don's got it right. My rims are Full Chrome HRE 19" 546's. I have Eibach's. The springs are OK, but if I were to do it again, I would hold out for 2-way penske's or Motons.

So do it over, and give me your Eibachs [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Those rims did look sweet, Jason
What is the ETA of your s/c baby?

**Smokin** · January 11th, 2003, 06:27 PM

Jason,
Im hoping Jason Heffner (too many Jason's) receives the car by the middle of next week. He will have the car for 4 weeks after that. Hopefully, I'll have the car back before March.

How do the 19's ride? Is there a considerable difference in the ride and handling?

I didnt get much seat time in the car after I got the rims. It was raining most of the time and i was on vacation for half the month of December. From the little i did drive the car, it wasnt an appreciable difference in ride quality and handling.

Smoke (is that better?),
any chance you will attending the PowerFest or Prashant Patel's Drag event at the end of March? (sans Viper?)

**Smokin** · January 11th, 2003, 11:47 PM

So far Im attending the Powerfest. I didnt know anything about Prashants drag racing event.

**getbit** · January 11th, 2003, 11:50 PM

He will be announcing details soon. He doesn't post here so I will post details as they come out.
Dude, we are going to tear up San Antonio!

**Smokin** · January 11th, 2003, 11:51 PM

Where is the place to stay. There is that hotel post. But there are so many hotels that it seems that everyone is going to be scattered all over the place

**getbit** · January 11th, 2003, 11:53 PM

I haven't decided yet. I will post my decision on that real soon. One big event we did, we stayed at this shithole near the track but had paid security for the cars and a Hummer Limo bring us into San Antonio (track is outside of town) to the awesome RiverWalk area to get piss drunk and chase tail.

**-RUNNR** · January 12th, 2003, 12:16 AM

Sounds like a plan

**getbit** · January 12th, 2003, 12:45 AM

I should know this week about the hotel. Lots of places to stay. Night life is great. We might even find some time for some interesting drag races.

**-RUNNR** · January 12th, 2003, 12:53 AM

I'm getting a rental car that we can fit 5 in, so....

**getbit** · January 12th, 2003, 12:55 AM

BUT, who will be designated driver? We might all chip in for a limo. we did it at VOI but one night everybody (12 people) bailed and me, Prashant and Jasonmiddletn had to foot the whole bill! We would collect ahead of time this time!

Another event???

**getbit** · January 12th, 2003, 02:42 PM

Prashant is putting a drag event on at the end of March I believe. Give him a ring for details.
