Ernie takes a stance.... a JCW stance.

After taking Phil Wicks class in GA a few weeks ago, I want to make Ernie handle better. The first thing was a set of JCW springs. Though it only lowered him less than .5", it did remove a little bit of the space I wanted removed and the stiffness from the springs feels great on the curves. I'll know better once I get to do another track day.

Anyway, here's a few pics of Ernie with his new look.

I agree very nice

But you do need to teach Ernie to stay off the grass though

very nice! if you change to JCW springs, are changing of shocks necessary? As with aftermarket ones that drop like 1+" (H&R) etc, they'll eventually kill your shocks in a year or two...

looks great tho!
how much may i ask?

I got them through Charleston Mini but with my wholesale (bodyshop) discount.

They were 300 bucks my cost plus 37 shipping. (they actually overnighted them to me)

HTH's,

I really like the drop the JCW springs give, its not slammed and it gets rid of the 4x4 look.
