4Motto - definitely would love to see some pics of your drop. I'd like to go a tad more aggressive like you but I really couldn't sacrifice ride comfort. It's a daily driver and mainly city roads.

Dave - I'll try to post some pics soon. The car is pretty clean right now but it's so overcast the pics would be mediocre at best I think. I'll work on it though. You know I'm proud of the puppy.

braggin' about the weather. I don't think anybody has had more rain than the Tampa area in the last couple months. Granted, I've cut the sprinkler system off probably a month ago but Tampa...they've been swamped. Still gotta wash the S though, 1/week pretty much no matter. I park next to a $148k MB at work, I gotta try to look like I belong. My biggest compliment came from that guy about 2 weeks ago. He came into the office and said, "your rims are cleaner than my car and it's pissing me off. What do you do?"

Well, here are the new springs...

The sun was low in the horizon so some of the shots have a bad glare. Sorry.

Hope you enjoy. I sure have!





NVR - you're turn!

4Motto - drop looks great. I have black too. You need to try using Zaino products. You won't have ANY of those swirls you see. If you need any tips let me know. I swear by that stuff.

...and yes, I do need to post some pics but I gotta take some first. I have a digital camera in my Palm but frankly the clarity is poor at best. I need to wait till I get home to get the "real" camera.

Thanks Guys!

NVR - I know about the Zaino - problem is, I don't have a place to wash the S, so I take it to the hand wash guys. I'm not in a home yet, so I can't really wash/clean the S at the apt., and it's difficult to find someone who will let me use their driveway to wash my baby.

Are there any "quick" Zaino products out there for a fast fix? Not that I want to do a cheap job, but a somewhat decent job.

Thanks.

If you can't do the whole 9 yards which I would highly recommend clay barring the whole car, then a series of Z-5 (swirl remover), Z-2 (the finishing polish), and Z-6 (the detail spray)...plus always use the car wash, Z-7.

I've never done this w/o doing all the other stuff first but you might try using the car wash and then the detail spray (6 and 7). It won't be the full effect but I would assume it would make a nice start.
