Yup :/ our roads are friggin baaad... the only thing separating the actual "road" from the nature is the actual cement... In fact I think we would be better of riding in dirt :/

La Fiebre!!!!! It's literally saying the fever... there's even a saying that goes like: "La Fiebre, que nunca se quita"= "The Fever, that never goes away"

The First time I went to the "fiebre" I was like 13, You get started in it very early man !! Its super fun!!

The only problem people have here its that... nobody buy's good suspension, or if the dont like the drop n their New Springs they resort to something EVIL... cutting and/or heating springs :/

Don't get me started on this... I just had a fight with my "best bud" because of this, since he's always been a straight shooter, "No rice or immitation product" kind of person, even Rota's or any chrome rim would bother him, and about 3 days ago when I go to his house first thing I see in the driveway is one of these Moped's called "Vento's" painted some kind of maroon color... with chrome Skidplate, chrome Rims, fake CF Rearview mirrors, chrome Handle's and all that ish, and the first thing I say is ... "QUE C@R@JO" = WTF,`

And he starts saying that he likes the chrome look on them, that He's planning on getting the Hayabusa Engraved Tail piece in chrome, that he's gonna get a chromed out alternator, etc, he tells me he has a crew of about 43 people with him, and that he loves it because they are better than cars, "more funner" and that he has said farewell to his car-loving days, and he wants to keep "prepping his vento" FTL

Get these because once you lower it that 1-2 inches, you will want more because lowwww is an addiction. These do well and stiffen the ride. You definitely shouldn't expect it to be anything close to riding a Cadillac with these.

PR ain't all like that, Its just got some bad/good parts like everyplace :/.

Don't get me wrong I <3 my Island, but as found everywhere, idiots, also live in here...

Or you're gonna tell me I should judge U.S.A. from black people in caddies with gold rims and gold curb feelers, or from Hillbilly's with their V8's on their lawns, rusting Ford pickups, and inbreeding results?

I'm all on criticizing or knocking on idiots, But don't Judge PR by a select few... I should suggest that when you need a Vacation come and visit us, Its a beautiful place. But again please don't do that it doesn't rub right...

Because then, You might look like a prejudicial person...

And I'm 100% percent sure, that you didn't mean to sound like that, and again... I do not want flames or anything, just wanted to clear this up.

but back on topic-------->

Ups is next to my house like 45 secs driving, 2 mnts walking!! I really hope they get here soon!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, I won't hate on all of Puerto Rico, but you're too crazy. I don't think I would want to meet you. haha

BTW. I looked at my top nut on the driver front coilover today and it had unscrewed like 6 turns. Make sure if you hear a knocking noise, you tighten that top nut down. Of course, I used factory nut instead of the raceland provided one. I think I might put a second nut on it to act as a locking nut.

^Thanx... I think :S, lots of people over here have a "WE NEED TO MOD EVERYTHING" syndrome :/,

--------------
Why did you use the Factory Nut and not the Racelands one? isn't safer with the RL?
