Seriously, is this really happening to me right now?

 After all the crazy crap I've been through with this car, I guess I should not be surprised at anything. Literally one day after my car comes back -- I break it. TK and I went for a drive today and it was awesome. As we were pulling in to the side street leading to our house, I hit a bump midway through the right hand turn and...crunch. Oh no, that didn't sound good. We pull in to the garage and I don't even want to look to see what happened. I know it's bad and I just had to walk away.

So here's what happened. The combination of a slightly wider than OEM front tire, lowered ride height and bump in the middle of a turn led to a close encounter between the tire and the wheelwell.

Another bad day...

The eagle has landed

 After 10 long days, the car carrier rolled in to my local grocery store parking lot. Like at FSoB, there was no room for a large truck to get close to my house. The first thing I noticed was the bad ass ride height. With the coilovers, David was able to lower the car to a much more reasonably stance. The factory ride height of a 308 is ridiculous. There is enough room to put your fist between the wheel well lip and the tire. It looks so much better lowered, although I may have problems with speedbumps and driveways.

 

 

The other thing I noticed was the popping out the exhaust. Hmmm...it didn't do this before. Hopefully this is just because it's cold.

A few more shots of the mean stance.

Homeward bound

 Quick note, my car is done and on a truck headed back across the country. Wow, what a long journey so far. There are still a few things that need to be tended to, but I'm out of money and want my ar back.
