How did you get a job as a mechanical designer though? And how did you like MSOE? I haven't toured there or anything. I just have a trustee that is hooking me up a Marquette.
Every thread here on WIBIMMERS gets de-railed and I dont feel bad about it because its still a small site
so with that said I will answer this in REKIII's build thread>Everyone at MSOE felt like they were getting ripped off and that they should have gone to UWM to save money. I partly agree, but the small class sizes were a big help since I was a homeowner, husband, father, and working for portions of my schooling and I didn't get many chances to join in on study groups. Lots of people I know bailed and went to cheaper easier schools, some even bailed on school altogether. I cant speak for anyone but myself, but I haven't had any issue finding employment as an MSOE grad.

Well, it looks like I finally settled on my suspension upgrade/change. I like the car low, but hate that I smash bits under my car all the time. My KW V3's need a rebuild, so I was looking into otheroptions. I fully explored Air bags, and still feel they would be a good option, even in a performance sense, if done correctly, however I just couldn't pull the trigger, as I really like the coilovers.
So, I found a Company that builds air cyliders that a custom fit over the top of the coilover and allows the front of the car to be raised almost 2" at the push of a button. When the cylinders are in the down position, the coilover acts completely as it would normally. The unit only adds 1/4-1/2" in height and with the new hallow spring doesn't add any weight. It really is a cool set up.
So I am going to send the KW's out for rebuild, then to this company to get the install done, then they will bolt up to the car.
Hope to get more updates soon.

Kinda bummed that they don't make them for the rear of my car. We had an NSX in the shop with the system and it worked REALLY slick.
I lol'd pretty hard too
