Teaser: Mmmmm.... Drop!

[Dolphin18T]

UPS just delivered my Vogtland C/O's. Unfortunately, I wont be able to install them until after I get back from Tokyo towards the end of the month (Anyone been there? What should I see/do?).

How LOW should I go????

In Tokyo, how are you getting around??? if you ride the subway, be ware that you will be squeezed to death. they actually have pushers that push people into the subway during rush hours.
Besides that, tokyo is always a site to see all fancy electronics, hot cute jap girls. try to around to the suburb some time, bath in the hot spring and drink saki and raw fish.
you have plenty of shit to do there, bring a lot of cash with you.
btw, get a hair cut there if you hair is very long. Tokyo has some very good hair stylist.

I am not Japanese just to clearify and I don't support Japanese economy.

I plan on doing both of these things.

[Dolphin18T]

wtf^

Did you read the OP, Sean?

[Maverick]

cool.
soooo-ga(pronounciation) is like "i see" in Japanese
hai(pronounciation) is like "yea" in japanese.
I forgot to mention, if you can get a chance, try to get a ride in someone's car and maybe you can catch the late/mid - night racings on Tokyo's highway

good luck to you. it could get pretty crazy over there for foreign visitors. trust me i know. i'm japanese and i've lived there for 10 years so it's not a problem getting around for me but my friends from overseas have hard times when i'm not around. you just have to really plan it out, down to the detail. what you wanna do, where you wanna go and how you can get there. subways are very convenient ONLY if you know how to use it. otherwise it'll just waste your time. and don't expect people over there to speak english. they take 6 years of mandatory english classes in school and still don't speak it. they know how but they just won't speak it.

here's the map of Tokyo Metro Subway lines. i hope you have a friend over there to guide you around. otherwise, like i said, good luck~!

Thanks. I have a friend working over there right now. What makes the JR system that much more difficult when compared to the MTA, BART, etc., other than that it is huge?

HaHa, yea...

^^^ what's wrong?

i just thought it was kinda random. the OP just mentioned he wasn't going to be able to install them until he gets back from japan and you went off on a crazy Japan review and then stated you weren't japanese or in favor of their economy.

nothing wrong. i just thought it was funny

[Maverick]

yea, lol.
OP mentioned about going to Japan. I honestly care more about going to Japan than putting on the suspension.

[jrau13]

I have been there many times for work and it is an amazing place. Like someone else mentioned it can be hell trying to get around or even eat without knowing the language or someone from there.
Harajuku-shopping
Shibuya-more shopping/night life
Roppongi-night life/clubs
Akihabara-electronics heaven

Ok im not gonna talk about japan but about VOGTLANDS.
Just installed these last weekend and it took about 12 hrs with dinner and beer.
Install is pretty easy. The back can be a bitch. Super easy to adjust. And I noted a 1/4 to a 1/2 drop after the suspension has settled which is a couple days or so. I was sittin 24.25 all around with 19's and was rubbin like crazy.

Haha, Awesome. I was waiting for someone to comment on the Vogtlands. I think i'm gonna put it at 25" all the way around.

Thanks to everyone for the advice on Tokyo too.

[jrau13]

25" should be looking good.

im at 24.5 front and 24.75 in the back. To me its perfect and does not rub at all.

The ride is bouncy at first but settles in and is nicely stiff. <---Thats what she said :) hahha

Anyways if only i knew had to post pix properly. They always come up small.

[quattro2003]

just had them put on today. They do settle a lot. I have my stock 17's on untill i get tires on my 19's and I'm scrape everywhere. I was suprised how low the fronts go. I still have plenty of threads on the front and I'm tucking. The rears don't go as low as the fronts but still go plenty. I love them. Best mod so far.
