Eagle Rare, and that explains your keyboard warrior fingers. I was waiting for a PHd, but Eagle Rare makes more sense. Surprised it's not Blantons.
I just figured Blanton's was out of your price range. I have a bottle of Hibiki 21 I'm working on right now, but that's a bit of a stretch for anyone's budget...

Thanks for being a good sport. ?

At least you're drinking something good. Maybe I'll see you at the next Jim Beam dinner party

Better yet, come over. We can open my Jim Beam Lineage signed by Baker Beam, his wife Mary Beam, Fred, and Freddie Noe.

Thing about bourbon is that there really isn't THAT much difference between $30/bottle well liquor and $1200/bottle aged Pappy's. The same CANNOT be said for scotch.

I can drink Beam if that's all that's available... but GTFOH with Dewar's or Johnny Red/Black. Some people even like the taste of liquid campfire with some of that peaty stuff like Lagavulin's- I can appreciate that taste but it's not really my preference, even some of the high-end stuff. Scotch prices get LOL really quickly. I'm more of a highland guy myself, but Glenfidditch 18 and god forbid Macallan over 15 gets into the triple digits quick. Personal favorite is Johnny Blue though. I know some people scoff and shriek over blended scotch but I love me some Johnny Blue.

And I just checked- apparently the bottle of Hibiki I have could have gone for $2k unopened! I at least "only" bought it for $600... christ.

Right, not all Beam is created equal. That sounds motherfucking delightful.

Yeah, way to clog up a pretty informative thread with complete, non-car related bickering. Mods please clean this crap up.

I will post my before-after numbers Friday after my alignment. All I’ve done have been springs (eibach pro), rigid collars, and pins pulled.
once you do springs, alignment is definitely needed

to get this back on track....OP did you get the alignment done yet?
I'm getting it done on the 15th then taking a nice lil road trip. I'll report back my alignment numbers, my driving impressions, and hopefully some cool Type R in the mountains pictures

I had my alignment today after eibach ProKit springs, rigid collars, and pin pulled. Kind of shocked to see how much camber I had on one side versus other with pins pulled.
I did just order camber arms for the rear after seeing how crappy my right rear camber is.
Will likely pick up a roll center adjustment kit to throw in the front just to correct the geometry, also.

surprised the camber is not even after the rigid collars. usually it makes it very symmetrical.

I think the pin pulling + springs made everything extra wacky. My rear camber arms will be here Tuesday so I’ll likely get another alignment in one week.
i did springs, pin pull and camber ball joints, and they were within a tenth of each other after alignment, and that's without rigid collars
