Not Too Young To Vogt
Vogtland is a manufacturer of high quality performance springs and now offers car audio springs, which are the first products of their kind to bridge the gap between the 12-volt enthusiast and performance suspension markets. Vogtland Audio Spring Kits are manufactured in Germany, utilizing the highest quality suspension grade spring wire. Vogtland's engineers and technicians specifically designed these kits to provide the necessary load capacity to properly lower your vehicle when it's loaded down with the latest car audio gear and electronics. The kit accepts additional loads up to 110 lb in the cargo area of the vehicle. This allows for a drop that provides an aggressive appearance yet still maintains the appropriate level ride height for the suspension to function properly. All I can say is it's about time. The car audio suspension kits provide a completely tuned suspension package that significantly improves the vehicles dynamic behavior and safety. Vogtland Audio Spring Kits are designed to provide a level drop of 1-3 inches (25-70 mm), provide an additional load capacity of 110 lbs. (50kg) and are a complete suspension upgrade.

Where's My Swatter?
ColorMorphics. Yet another very cool name from an automotive company. These guys have what they call an "Intelligent Digital Car Lighting System." With 16.7 million colors and dozens of remote-controlled effects, ColorMorphics offers unrivaled lighting options. The lights can even interact with your stereo system. Say what?! With kits starting at $249, this LED based system offers extraordinary durability. ColorMorphics was engineered for strength, with up to 100,000-hour (11.4 years) LED life rating and a weatherproof polycarbonate housing. ColorMorphics is expandable, with new components and programming already being developed. It's designed for both exterior and interior use. ColorMorphics is an interactive alternative to the static lighting systems available today. I saw these little deals at SEMA-they gave out necklaces of neon bugs that you can attach to your valve stem and they blink while you drive. It has a neat effect when in motion, that's for sure. ColorMorphics is now available at Best Buy, Circuit City and at www.colormorphics.com.

Not Your Mom's Car
Sound the trumpets! There is now an Accord non-VTEC camshaft available to you. Yes, you! And this little baby adds up to 15 hp to the wheels. It's even a direct bolt on; no cam gears, retainers or springs needed. That's all the information Performance Accord gave me. If I knew more about these things, believe me, I'd fill you in. But I don't. So go to their Web site listed below for more stuff to chew on. Accords. Nice cars. I see them every time I drive into work. Usually moms are driving them, but they still look nice. And hey, just because your mom sports the same car as you doesn't mean you're not cool. Well yeah, it probably does, but either way, you can now have more power. Here's to having more horses than your mom! Oh yeah, and they're available for '90-'97 2.2-liter non-VTEC and '98-up 2.3-liter non-VTEC motors. Chew on this: www.performanceaccord.com or (909) 755-1488.
