I hate that I missed this meet up, looks as though the weather was perfect, and the S550's were shining. Hope to catch everyone at the next one, also great pics!!!

I'm not sure you guys are aware, but there are Sunday morning car shows for the first three weekends every month in Leander, The Oasis, and downtown Round Rock, in that order. Free, casual events, all three. Details below:

Electroid -

What springs did you go with and how do you like them? I'm thinking about Steeda's Progressive setup.

And $300 bucks for the install sounds pretty reasonable. Were you able to wait at their shop while they installed them? Or did you have to drop the car off and pick it up later? I'm not sure how long this kind of job takes at a well equipped shop.

Thanks in advance for any insight. :cheers:
Hey BeauxXL1200

I have the Eibach Pro-Kits. The updated Steeda's were not available at the time or I would have probably gone for them instead. Having said, that, I am very happy with the Eibach's. I find the ride quality no different than the PP springs and the handling is much more secure and confidence inducing. I think the alignment I got at Soulspeed had a lot to do with it too. Collin at Soulspeed knows his stuff.

You can wait at the shop if you like. They have free WiFi. There is nothing to do in the area, so you would be pretty much stuck in the shop. I did not hang around, so I am pretty sure that Collin lowered the priority of my work and they had my car all day, which was fine by me.

Also, keep in mind that the $300 was for the install only. I had an alignment done as well and that was another $130.

I hope this helps.

Thanks, Electroid. This is very helpful indeed. As you mention, it seems that a good alignment after the spring install is critical to getting good results. I'm pretty sure I'll let Soulspeed do the install when I order the springs.

Thanks for the photos Carzzi!

It was a great turn out, the most we had since we started meeting up. Thanks to everyone for attending! Looking forward to many more.

And should we get the Track Day thingy started?

Track Day at Circuit of America or Texas Speedway?

I'm trying to get my mods complete before the next meet up. On my list:
steeda sport springs "ordered"
engine covers sent to paint "wicked dipz" I had my engine covers hydrodipped by a company in buda, MAJOR Fail! Parts had flakes and chips all in them and well just look at the pics LOL!
Install my blank trunk panel purchased from TASCA Parts. I don't recommend them. It took 5 and a half weeks to get it. I had my trunk panel covered in matte black vinyl by a company in buda, MAJOR Fail! It had bubbles in the vinyl. So then I had a company in Austin paint it matte black, fail! scratches and debris in the paint.

I know this may not be the proper sell your stuff section but not willing to ship. I have my original 19" PP wheels that I'm wanting to sell. Only 1500 miles with no curb rash. Great condition. Two tires are 255/40r19 Who wants them? $900 cash I will also throw in the 1" spacers I got from American muscle. Also includes factory lug nuts with locking lugnuts. No tire pressure sensors...

Well nobody has posted here since August, and I haven't touched the regional forums ever, but I am in the Austin area. I've been to the Oasis for Cars and Coffee when I had my GTI. I'd love to be part of a meet up, as well as get some work done at a shop that knows our cars and won't try to rape me on the labor.

I live in Round Rock, right outside of North Austin. We went to Car and Coffee once and could not find any parking. Want to go back! We had a big MOCA event at Cabela's in Buda several weeks back. Lots of nice Stangs there!
