Rasermon is getting good at installing springs!!!

Post by cohocarl »

I'd like to thank Rasermon for helping me install my Hotchkis springs today. How many spring installs is that now for you (removed)?I like the appearance of the drop, but I like the way it drives even more. The "on center" feel is greatly improved, and expressway speed "wandering" is pretty much gone. Much more enjoyable to drive now. With the springs and the sway bars, body roll is a thing of the past. Thanks again (removed).

Another happy Hotchkis customer! What a great combo! It makes a nice useable drop-lowered, but not too much.

Started wiring up that outside light I told you about, then had to get ready to head down to Saginaw to see Bill Cosby. Nose bleed seats, but he puts on a good show.

Hey coho, you going to be up for helping out with sway bar installs? That's going to be my first project come spring time. Or if I can get some space in that monster garage you have, I would do it sooner. WOW! Nice setup.

I'd be more than happy to help out with a bar install!!! The rental fees on my tools and heated barn are very reasonable. I think (removed) is thinking about some bars also. The only thing I don't have alot of from now until after the first of the year is time. After the first of the year, I'd be more than happy to have you and (removed) over for a bar install.Very happy with the combo of springs and bars. Now if someone would bring out some rock solid struts......

Your barn seem well organized to me. You remember my garage in the summer? It was full from my sister in-law. TG she got her house soon after.

Sounds great! We will definitely have to plan something for the spring then.
