For the street, yes. And if you went with them, I think you would have to do something in the rear to balance things out.

What I've been up to!

Hey Folks:

Just to let you know I haven't disappeared entirely.
Been out in the desert of Northwetern Nevada playing with the Cherokee.

https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...y.php?cat=1939

Just another thing to do.
Maybe Blake wants to go and see just how fast his car can go, plenty of room out there and then Kevin could detail his car for a phenominal fee. (Lots of dust out there)

Sounds like fun. There are not many Starbucks in your pictures of your vacation. I can imagine the folks that live on "the ranch" pretty much keep to themselves and I'd think twice about stopping anywhere near there. Maybe next year Blake could go with his Jeep, instead of the MINI.

The jeep is a beast to drive on the freeway. That car will never leave michigan.

You might have misunderstood me. M7 makes a grill for the OEM Aero Kit. They dont list it on their site for a couple reasons. 1, peter is lazy and never updates his site and 2, the two grills look alsmost the same.

Since M7 put up a new website, it now has all the grills. We don't have all of them on ours as we haven't updated his new pics yet.

Blake, we need to talk about your springs. The 2.5" x 6" x 375lbs is not made by Eibach as far as I can tell and you still may want to deal with the back springs to maintain balance.

You don't have to worry about the folks at "The Ranch". They are very nice and actually are in the business of having guests. And they always have coffee, hot strong and good.
The area is on the old Applegate/Lassen Emigrant Trail and from some of the spots I've seen I wouldn't want to have ridden a wagon train in the 1840s and 50s through there. I'll tell you more sometime.
