do you have the exhaust meister? if not check it out (google search will take u to their website)

allows you to control the exhaust valves manually

Thank you. I end up extending the vac hoses and connected them to the valves. I kinda like to keep it stock in that sense, so it purrs like a kitten when I'm in comfort mode around the neigborhood but screams and burps when i'm whipping through the canyons.

I have to admit, it feels very close to stock. Loving the ride quality.

How hard was the install? I've been thinking about getting them but still on the fence of it.

Not what I did TO her but what I got FOR her...


Sun Joe SPX3000 arrived today and the foam cannon should get here tomorrow. I will have to try it out on my wife's 535i tomorrow evening or Thur morning. My 535i isn't dirty enough yet to wash. Since it never rains in Kommiefornya a California Duster and a quick detailer (Zaino Z6) keeps my car clean.

But the WX isn't worth all our high gas, electric and water prices!! Our cheap water bill is around $150!

Had a friend do the install. He said it was not too tough. Took me over 2 years to pull the trigger due to being undecided between H&R's and ACS due to ride quality. All I can say is I am very impressed with the ride quality of the H&R's

Thanks!
its fairly quick, as you don't have to remove the entire rear seat just to get to the rear shock tower bolts. There are panels on the rear deck which u pop off which give you access to the speakers you take those out and you should be able to access....

But our "seasons" suck...

Summer
Fire
Rain
Mudslides...

Finished the first two (a good friend lost his house; and 99% restored '49 Olds; in the Lilac fire). Now were waiting for the other two.

I got a set off of eBay... They also faded after a few short time. They are now just black and white. I'm thinking of replacing them but will probably go back to the factory lights.

lol do you guys try to make an effort and actually step on the logo when you get out...just wondering? like does glitter come falling around you when you step out? i feel like that's what i would feel with those courtesy lights haven't decided ever since i saw those come out a few years back to do mine or not. there was a pretty good topic discussion on these on whether it screams Richy Rich Boy or Ricey or whatever people thought. i'd probably have to go back and find that thread
