I don't get your reference.

I meant my car doesn't get driven as much, so since it's less likely to see rough conditions then the coilovers won't be as likely to be accidentally abused.

haha...nevermind.

I meant more shock travel.

I don't drive mine as much either....last year I only put about 1000 miles on it...most of them were to Eibach and the Blox Open House.

he meant travel as in the length that the shock has to move or dampen.
i think you're confusing it travel as in going on trips lol

yikes!

thats scary dude. someone broke my garage door last year...but since it had an automatic door opener that locked....they were only able to open it about 4 inches...luckily my car wasn't there at the time I was out at a local hang out spot....not sure what they were after...but for peace of mind...i like to think it wasn't the car...haha.

I live in a decent neighborhood too...Its only been that one incident since.

No, I'm not confused about that. I knew he was talking about shock travel, but I wasn't sure why.

When I picked one up a couple years ago for Eran I was told they had just or were about to be discontinued. I wouldn't be shocked either way.

well its a half nose mask for $65.00

the complete mask is more exspensive...lol


Either way.....their pricing logic is a little wierd sometimes. They were gonna charge me $117.00 for a VTEC pressure switch and gasket for my EP....but the whole solenoid assembly with switch and gasket was $104.00

haha.
