What did you get today?

ahero4eternity · 10-12-2015, 10:40 PM

Car related items only.

I got a Mechunik strut bar. But I also just dropped my car off at the body shop this morning (got hit in the parking lot at work), so can't install this for a week or two.

Nothing in the mail today. It's Columbus day.

DMV license expiration and registration suspension letter for a car that was totaled. The insurance took its possession and don't know what I should do now.

Would love to hear your thoughts on the improvement the strut bar makes. I believe Autotechnik also makes one. I wonder if there is any benefit for a car lowered with coil overs.

Call both the DMV and your insurance company? If necessary, take all the paperwork you have from the insurance company TO the DMV. Messed up vehicle registrations can cause problems.

Had mine installed a few weeks back and works great.

What did you get? Where are you going to get them installed?

I am in San Diego quite a bit for work (headed down there right after I finish this post!).

Going with ST ST-X coils from EAS. They are supposedly from the makers of KW and the same as KW V1, but galvanized steel instead of stainless steel. I was told they should hold up fine in San Diego.

My car is currently in the shop right now...got a 2nd estimate. Shop is pushing to get me a new headlight because they can't buff the scratches out of the original one from when it got hit a month ago.

What part of SD do you go to for work? I live in Torrey Hills but work in Carlsbad.

tboooe · 10-13-2015, 07:20 PM

Cool man. I heard good things about ST coils. Btw, I'm headed to EAS Thursday for install of my KWs.

Nice! I prolly won't be able to get my coils installed until November.

Which variant did you get?

tboooe · 10-13-2015, 07:34 PM

I got the V1s. I had those on my Audi S5 and really liked the ride.

ahero4eternity · 10-14-2015, 09:50 AM

Didn't technically get anything in the mail, but I did just order a real 2x2 carbon fiber interior trim kit for less than the M Performance dash kit.

But does it make the car handle better, go faster or run better?
