Considering Ian ran a 2:22 in a TT3 Corvette, I hope I can run sub 2:30s as well. I might be on a new set of tires, but it definitely won't be Hoosier A7s yet.

SCCA T4 FR-S shocks

Looks like the answer is Bilstein B8's . Specially designed for lowering springs and compatible with the non-adjustable shock SCCA T4 rules.
