Thank you.
It's an $60 Epoxy Paint Kit that I got from the local hardware. I'll look at the box when I get home, but it's pretty good. Highly resistant to tire marks and oils. 1 kit is good for 1 car agrage so I bought 2 which was more than enougn for my 16X24 2 car garage. It comes with the chemical to acid clean the concrete and a video on how to do it. It also came with those spreckels that you're suppose to spread, but I like the plain gloss gray "clean" look.
Not as nice as this guy http://www.hooville.net/forums/showthread.php?t=64

The brand of the paint is RUST-OLEUM, EPOXY SHIELD, GARAGE FLOOR COATING. Like I said earlier It's a $60 Epoxy Paint Kit that I got from the local hardware. I'll look at the box when I get home, but it's pretty good. Highly resistant to tire marks and oils. 1 kit is good for 1 car agrage so I bought 2 which was more than enougn for my 16X24 2 car garage.

Sorry about the fuzzy terminology, but I seem to recall a talk at a BMW club event that inferred something like this? I think that the net effect of putting shorter springs on stock shocks is that the car gets "bouncy" (lots of oscillations) after hitting a bump?
