It would raise your car about 2 or 3 inches, which would look stupid and handle really poorly, especially without the subframe spacers, lateral links, trailing arms and control arm bushings that come with the Forester.

Yes, it's a bad idea.

But then he could put 24s on it and be a big hit in the hood. :idea2:

Thanks to Kourosh, Ray, Pete, Jeremy (and friend whose name I can't remember) and Colin for helping with setup.

Let's get the bus there as early as possible on Saturday. We still need to mark the pits, grid, etc. and set up worker stations & paint the cones on the courses. Along with all the other stuff that usually needs to be done the morning of the event.

Great job guys! I'll be there by 7:00 and am working on getting the bus there early or maybe the night before.

My Scotish heritage enjoyed the bagpipes much more than the techno!

So, I've hit a snag in getting the bus there Saturday morning. I had a family obligation that popped up and I won't be able to make the event.

Is there anyone that can follow me/meet me out at Four Oaks on Wednesday night and bring me back to Chris' house afterwards?

Since it's supposed to be raining or chance of rain or whatever all week, I'm going to take Friday off (since it's supposed to be nice weather that day) and do the mowing & scraping then. So if somebody wants to bring the bus over on Friday, we can set up that afternoon or evening.

Thoughts?

I believe Ray and I could pick the bus up and drop it off at kevins that day. It will most likely be in the evening. Ill be getting off of work around 2:30 the latest

I may be able to get the bus there on Thursday evening.
But if someone else can get it there for sure, please post.
