Was at Cargraphic USA's new facility and had a VERY positive experience with them....

First off, it was great meeting all the guys and girl at Cargraphic USA. What a great bunch of people. I hung out with Hershel, Eric, and Michele most of the day Monday.

I was getting my Dinan suspension installed next door on my Z8, and the installer severed his finger, so Hershel and Eric volkenteered to do the install. They made several calls, got shop manuals, and went way beyond the call to help me out because they didn't want my car to sit unfinished. They run a first rate operation and can HIGHLY recommend them to anyone. They also didn't mind me hanging out all day and generally disrupting their work Thanks again guys and great meeting you all, can't wait to hang out again.

I also was went for a ride in Michele's white c2 cab and got the keys to Hershel's turbo. I can honestly say, Michele's cab is by far the fastest C2 I have ever been in. Sounds fantastic, looks even better.

Hershel's car.......whoa, what can I say. ZERO turbo lag and endless power. The car is soooooo fast and handles perfect. So perfect, I order the Cargraphic suspension he has on the spot!! AWESOME!!

Thanks again

Lou

My car will be confused without turns though!

Michelle gave me a tour of Cargraphic and Tire and Wheel Choices and introduced me to the staff. Its HUGE and a First class operation. I'm glad they moved to FL, my second home. Just need to get Bobby Singh's *** down here to do some nasty things to our cars!

Can I get some more info on cargraphic suspension? How stiff compared to pss9 or jic? Any issues with bump stops at gt2 ride height? Lou any other info would be appreciated. This may be my best option. Thanks.
