Tell me about it. Want to guess who just mounted Summers on Saturday?

Temperature is not consistently high enough for me yet. Still sitting around 6 during the day, less at night.
Clocks may have gone forward last weekend but the season has gone backwards by one this week.

Soon tho!

Have a lot of speed bumps, humps, some of them could jumps. I was actually really surprised I haven't had issues with any of them after the ebiach install. I think the lip being very conservative helps too. I was hoping for a thump fix too but I'll just put some kws on it when the stock stuff let's go.

Didn’t do anything to my car today but I did drive BoilerM ‘s car! Thanks again for letting me drive, he fully sold me on getting the Bilstein Evo S coilovers.

Noticeably less body roll, a little bit more firm in comfort (but still comfortable for daily driving) and most importantly, absolutely NO thump. Will be scheduling my installation soon

If you get them and your thump goes away too, I’m sold.

Swapped out the blank for this little storage container I’ve had for months. Not much will fit in this and who carry’s coins anymore?? But I figured the more storage the better.

I will update this thread and the thump thread when I do get them installed. Won’t be for a little bit because I have a road trip planned soon. Looking forward to that thumpy trip 🤪

This is a man that does not like rattling sound of any kind!!

Seriously something rolling around in there or clicking over bumps would drive me crazy.
