So the battery came in and took the car out for a test. The HAs have a range of 16 clicks. Running on their suggested settings is too rough. Running on 1 does not dampen enough. I am running on 12 in the front and 14 in the rear. Its been a while since I rode on A firmer setting. The car did feel different. Its dealing with the bumps better though. I think I may be a click away from the optimal street setting on these. So I will be able to likely make them work for me. There is a chance I may go down to a softer spring still, but I think I can make these good enough for the road as is.
I started steam cleaning my carpet as well. Its looking much better though I have a couple of stains I need to figure out how to remove. One rust colored one in particular.
I also cut my lip in half today. I purchased a diamond cutter for my dremel to get a clean cut. This lip is a lot wider than my car, so cutting it in half will make it easier for me to get one side sorted out and centered then I can make a final cut on both sides to make it meet in the middle. I am still debating on what method I am going to use to mold it. I was going to mount it with its natural curve but I think that the dip part is too far to the sides. This is if I was also going to cut the length of the lip.
NOTE: The sides are higher than they should be, but I had no one to help hold it so its resting on my wheel spoke.
Instead I think I am going to use a heat gun to get a new curve out of it that moves the dip towards the center and keeps me from having to cut the lip anymore. I can make it fit this way by holding it, but I think if I can use a heat gun on it I can prevent any future deformation. I need to go get some screws for mounting then I will start trying to figure this out.
EDIT: Also this lip does not look bad on the back of the car, and it actually fits the curve better. I would only bother if I ran across another for a decent price.
