70-200, 2.8

100-400 -- this is here only beacause I got an incredible deal. It is a highly impractical lens as it is very heavy and hard to hold steady over time w/o a monopod.

That's a great lineup. What model camera do you shoot with?

Well today I used Dr Color Chip to try to fill in a small chip in the bumper. I paid $39 for about an ounce of this stuff including shipping and this was the second chip I was working on...my hands got some of the paint on them and that went on my fairly good pants ..I attempted to clean them off and in the process knocked over the open bottle of Color Chip spilling most of it on the floor of the garage..

Anyone looking for a helper in their auto body shop? I am available....real cheap..

Install went very good. Almost all too easy. Brake pedal is still soft, need to go back and bleed again in the morning. Havent driven it yet and as soon as I do the first thing on my list is to break the pads in. I set the sways to soft all around to start. Koni's are set to just below middle in the rear and about middle in front to start. CANT WAIT TO DRIVE!!!!

I have an iPhone. :ugh2:

Actually, I have a point and shoot waterproof Olympus, and a few other point and shoots...but have been thinking about getting into SLR. I do tend to take lots of pictures with my iPhone, but mainly because of convenience.

I'd actually suggest starting the Konis at full soft and working from there. They really aren't soft at full soft, but they get pretty darn stiff when you crank them up. IMO it's easier to start there and figure out how much stiffer (if any) you want it instead of thinking about whether you should crank it down or crank it up.

That's just me, though.

:iagree: I started in the middle in rear and a bit stiffer in the front and they are STIFF at this setting. I had to dial them back.

:tiphat:

I run 1.5 turns up front and 1 turn in the rear. The absolute MOST I will run on the street is 2 up front and 1.5 out back. More is just too stiff unless I'm on perfectly smooth roads.

On a long trip I'll crank them down and run at full soft for comfort. Even at full soft the Konis will perform better than stock.

I thought of this when you mentioned this unfortunate chain of events! :rofl2:

I believe this is about where im at. Im at about 1 1\4 turn up front and actually about the same on the rear. Itll take some dialing in but adjustment is easy! Now I just gotta get these brakes bled properly.
