[Shotimes] Trip to FPS

[Adam Phillips]

No, i havent been on this list long, as ive only had the 92 since November. 
I have been, and still am, on the V8 list for about 2 years. I just sold my 
97 V8 this December however.

Yea I know Robbinsville. My grandmother lives in the Foxmoore Development 
off of route 33.
Hmm.  Im not thrilled to hear about the kyb's not having enough damping 
power. Thats what i was told about the gabriels. Yea i was planning on 
putting them in my self. FPS is going to order them for me on monday, then 
preload them and mail them to me, so all i ahve to do is swap out the whole 
spring/strut assemblies. So do u think i should call them and tell them to 
hold off? Because i really dont like pogo stick action lol. Ugh.

Im also looking into doing a brake upgrade. I like the BAER brake kit, but i 
cant find any calipers for the rear, only Rotors. I dunno, maybe its just 
me...but if im gonna upgrade my brakes, id like all 4 to match....right?

Let me know if you wanna meet up and talk SHO sometime or w/e. Im like 10 
minutes from Robbinsville.
