Naake's going in

[2ndMDRebel]

The Crown Rauder is in and getting some surgery today. Got the adjustable Naake QA-1s for front and rear. The rears went in pretty much without a hitch except for having to add a spacer to the bottom mount. He's working on the fronts now and was mumbling something nasty when I last went back and checked... something about stuff not fitting and matching up... but I trust his ability to make it work. Perfect day for it too, hardly any customers coming in so he has all day to mess with it. I want to drop the nose about 3/4" to 1" and see how she looks plus being able to adjust the stiffness with a turn of a knob as the mood hits me is a plus.

Well, tech finished her up this morning and I took this picture on the back lot with the cellphone...

Ended up dropping the front 1.5" and left the air ride height alone in the back. I can't take a picture for squat but it really looks nice in person. I also took it out for a quick run and geez this thing hits the curves like its on rails, steering is predictable and steady with very little if any bodyroll. The ride is a bit more bumpy but the car just has a more firm and solid feel to it. Will have to get some more miles on it to form a real opinion on worthwhileness but my initial impression is that it is a definite improvement.

I have them set on "6" front and "4" rear out of 12 settings... 4 is considered stock resistance.

I know you are going to enjoy the ride :)
