they're a little more than the DF's, but are worth it IMO.

Thursday? Odd day =p

I'm off work (I work in El Dorado Hills) at 3:30, and my girlfriend (who owns the Yaris) is off at 4. I'll see if she's interested in going or not.

I could go for some Claim Jumpers after the drive if we end up near there (as in on 80).

I recommend that we meet at Starbucks, 4311 Town Center Blvd, El Dorado Hills, CA 95762 (For those going to Kaotic Lazagna's L&L pre meet first, this will be your destination)
There is a Valero next door, Chevron at the entrance to the shopping center, and Shell/76 on the other side of the freeway, so you have your choice for gas.

Possible route #1 (The LONG route)



The fun part:


Driving along Folsom Lake is nice too.

Approx. 1 hour from Starbucks to Claim Jumper
or 45 minutes from freeway (50) to freeway (80)

Claim Jumper Restaurant - Best steak house I've ever been to. Approx $15-30 per person. If you guys think it's too expensive I'm sure we can find a McDonald's instead =p

Possible route #2
If you guys just want a quick round-trip drive, we can turn around on Salmon Falls. We don't even have to go as far as the map shows:

i can't remember what the DF's are; but i think they're 1.5 inches. the S.Tech's are at least 1.9 inches and have a stiffer rear spring set up than the Tanabe's (no bottoming out). i've had both my parents and my brother, plus some cargo and not bottom out yet. but yeah, i also have the TRD Sprotivo's on too.
