why am i not surprised
None of us that know our Travis are surprised.
Don't worry, it's not gonna be a big deal. I lost mine for 30 days when I was 17 too.


same here, mid ski season too (hits head), why are cops out at 1:30 in the morning anyway.


lost it for 30 days, with privileges to go to and from school. Only had to pay $67 in court fees or something like that. All and all not to bad and it got me to slow down "for a bit".

I think for just under $1000 you can buy the Koni super street coilovers on sale. The ECS kit that goes over the stock or bilstien shock is a crappy engineering design. All that supports the entire weight of your car isa c-clip at the bottom and 3tiny threaded inserts screwed into the side of the shock. If you have seen stock A4 coil springs break, I think you could easily imagine a c-clip rusting out/breaking, especially with the car slammed.

The teins and vmaxx's are both nonadjustable. Adjusting the dampening isnt going to be as dramatic as you are making it out to be, same goes for the ride height.
i thought the tein super street was adjustable..? from everyone ive heard that has the tein basics, ive heard nothing but praise so thats the way im going to go

Yes, the SS are adjustable and the Basics are not. Thought the teins basicvs vmaxx were more comparable in price and features. Plus its kemp, so its thecheap ones
