Moving to New Hope. Need suspension mods!

Well Im moving to New Hope(right off river RD.) Gotta make the best of those twisty roads. I have sways bars as far as suspension mods go and some wide a$$ wheels! What else can I add to make some fun of my new drive home from work?

Mike, are you guys gonna be on River Rd as you head into town from the south? I ride my mountain bike up through New Hope/Lambertville a lot in the summer on the canal path. I also keep my boat in Titusville at my cousin's house.

Jeff,
Yeah right right right before you get into town. Its on the left hand side. The name of the street is Riverwood drive. Its in a the development there. Im really pumped to move there, should be a good time. I Still have those wide A$$ zr-1s I bought from you about 3-4yrs ago. Im going to get them powder coated this summer and get of them fixed.(darn pot holes)

That path that runs along the canal looks like a nice place to ride. Maybe Ill see ya around there sometime. If not you'll hear me coming from a mile away. Just added Loudmouth a few months back and boy is it LOUD! Cant wait to add longtubes!

Also did you ever finish that 69 camaro you had sitting in your garage? IF so how did it turn out. I see in your profile you have that and a 68 now. Thats pretty cool! I want to find the 69 pace car that my car is based off on. Maybe one day.

Take care,
mike

ifyou like canyon carving you are gonna wanna cross teh river into new jersey teh roads are jsut as twisty on both sides of the river, but on the jersey side the pavement is much better. i suggest trying your hand at rt579 fun road with very few houses on most of it.
for suspension i suggest you get soem springs to take the car down and inch or two(i am a big fan of eibach pro kits) and some upgraded shock sto keep it all controlled. i have used bilstein's in the past with great success.
once it starts getting a bit warmer you shoudl take a cruise down teh river on tje jersey siude. here in ewing we have a nice little scene tha is growing

later

Mike, I still have the 69 Z28 being restored and I got tired of waiting for it so I bought the 68 Camaro with the LT1 to play around with. And yes, the road up to New Hope has some nice twists to it. I cruise up through that area once in a while when I'm bored.

I'm doing well. My car is coming along slowly (I say that way too much). It may not be ready for the first points race on the 13th. Rick is trying, but there's only so many hours in a day.
