KILLBOY got me!
I was on the Dragon Sun 9-04 on my way back from MTBing at Tsali, and was nabbed by killboy.com. Couple a nice pics! Check it out, I'm on page 19 of the above date. (cars of course)
I play on here at least once a week and will never go back to a traditional tranny again! DSG is the dogs bullocks.

What happened to the bikes?
Did they fly off your car along with the rack? I remember riding Tsali before it was "discovered" by all the mtb rags and was just a hiking and horse trail. It was much more of a goat trail back then. Last time I drove the dragon was in 1984 in a VW GTI. No one was taking pics back then and most truck drivers had enough sense to stay away.
BTW, that is a very agressive look, practically slammed!

lowered
It's 45mm lower f/r from a sport suspension setup. A little lower than I wanted. I was told by Mike Hoppen the MTM springs would lower the car 35mm max. OOPS! He made a quote to me without checking with MTM.
It has grown on me and does not look "slammed" but coilovers are in the near future so I can set it up the way I want it.
That being said, the handeling is like nite and day. This wagon out handles my ex MINI cooper S works which had adj Koni's! All while carrying 2 mountain bikes, gear and a buddy!

Re: lowered
Yes. It is much firmer, but I'm used to firm suspensions. I ran the Mini with adj. Koni shocks at 3/4 stiff. Same with the TT I had. I feel this car is a TT with extra space with the modded suspension. I don't feel It's too firm as the wife says it rides better now. Take that as you may but she's no car nut.
Alot of folks don't like springs with stock shocks but I can say over the past couple thousand miles I am very pleased
