    Have they already started planning the next trip? Yeah I might be going. There are a few trails I missed last when I went.

    What would stop you from going? Only thing that's holding me back is the fact that there are SOOOO many people. Not sure how fun that is on the trails.

    ^ this. It's not really my style with that many people. It was fun once, but if (more like when) I go back it'll be with a smaller group. aaaand i'll be regeared haha, that stopped me from comfortably doing some trails since im a 6 speed.

    Yup! I tend to enjoy wheeling a bit more than waiting and talking. :)

    Oh nice! You still planning to get rid of the db?

    Did a little tinkering today on the front end. Ended up taking around 1/2" of preload off my front coilovers.

    Before at ride height with horrible UCA angles

    After adjustment at ride height. Now UCAS are just about centered. Might take a hair more off, but we'll see.

    Not really surprising at all but the front is that much softer.Glad I finally did it!

    I'm sure you can find a pretty cheap used MT setup pretty easily. Would it be a lot of work? I know nothing of DB lifts.
