What happens when you get bored in late winter after the new year? Don't know about you, but I go in the garage and get dirty!!

In this case, I got a great deal on a set of QA1 coilovers made just for C3s and put em in today!!

They are awesome and the ride quality just got much better. (Although nothing to really complain about before...)

Here's what they look like installed:

And.....I have a barely used set of Moog coil springs and Gabriel gas shock fer sale el cheapo!!

Let me know if anyone can use em!!
