hypnotic drive through virginia's skyland dr

ready to take a break from the daily grind? kick back and enjoy a drive through peak fall foliage, fog and mist. no speed thrills, no music and no sound but just a nice steady pace (10-15 mph over speed limit) through virginia's famed skyland drive. enjoy

Thanks for posting this; I don't have time to watch it at the moment, but I was just thinking, why don't more people post about their drives? I realize not everyone wants to write to that extent, but using video is a perfect solution!

Still haven't installed the PSS9's. Waiting for Dinan to ship some camber plates and rear shock mounts. Apparently they have some custom bushing on back order. It sucks, because if I don't get them in this upcoming weekend (not likely) I won't have another chance until mid-December...oh well.

Speaking of the PSS9's - do you know if your shop reused the rear bump stops or are they discarded? I think Bilstein includes them under the dust covers, but I'm not sure. The manual explicitly states not to re-use the front bump stops but doesn't mention the rears...

Thanks!
