Atlanta owners?

I've been to quite a few United games. They are a total blast.

I'm done with football, basketball, baseball...we suck. Our soccer team deserves that MB Stadium more than the Failcons.
 
Anyone else here an atlanta united fan?View attachment 32774
EricO! Here. Nice pic. We have the same ride.
FYI a few of us are meeting today about 1:30 at Starbucks in Johns Creek. 9400 Medlock Bridge (I believe) if you want to drop by.
I am a FALCONS fan (uuuhhhhhggggggg) A Braves Fan (double Uhhhhhhhhhgggggggg) Not too much into soccer although my wifes Company has a sky box at the stadium and I have been to a few games. Really Fun!!
 
Starbucks at 9700 Medlock
Google Maps

I'll be coming up from Norcross too, google maps has me 24 minutes out, so how about we shoot for 1:30pm this Friday 18th?
Anyone still going to Starbucks? I'm here..

From interior to exterior to high performance - everything you need for your Stinger awaits you...
Looks like fun but I have to work. I've never seen three parked next to each other.
 
I am looking for a place that will install the Eibach lowering kit to my 2.0T (swaybars and lowering springs)? ANY suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I live in Johns Creek, Ga just outside Atlanta.

Hey, Eric. I had Dekalb tire install my springs and later had Lou Sobh Kia install my swaybars. Labor rate was similar for both - I believe it was around $300 each time, so it's possible it could be less if a shop does both at the same time. However, neither were able to do an alignment. I've heard Butler Tire could probably install both and do the alignment.

Btw, Eibach springs will look level only on AWD cars, RWD cars will have noticeable more front tire gap. H&R has springs for AWD & RWD cars - part number VA 28701-2 for RWD. It's not distributed in the US so you'll have to order from Germany, most people are ordering from ebay. I have a set to replace my Eibachs but just haven't gotten around to have them installed.

Thank you brotha.
I have RWD. So you are saying that the car will not look lowered with the Eibachs?
 
I'm curiouse about how the ride changes after changing out the springs. Any input?

Well sort of. With Eibachs the rears drop a decent bit but the fronts look almost stock on a RWD 2.0. When we met up you probably didn't even notice mine was dropped, I actually looked at them side by side while were talking and my front end didn't look hardly any lower than yours, but I could tell my rear was lower. However, Neal's car is AWD (heavier front end) and has the heavier 3.3 engine so his front end was much lower than my car so it was probably way more obvious to you his car was lowered.

If I were you I'd order the sways and springs separately. There are actually a few options for sways. If you just want a lower stance, then just get the H&R springs. The sways help more with keeping composure during weight transfer and to me at least seemed to affect the handling feel more than the springs.

Lowering will lesson bodyroll and handling. The sway bars will do the same. Both help suspension performance.
 
AWD on Eibach is very noticeable compared to stock.

I think you backed the wrong vehicle up to the loading dock. Might take a few more trips to make the delivery, but will probably be more fun doing it.
