Well duh, it's not like he's more special than anyone else. As far as I can tell he just got off-the-shelf Clubsports.

The only 86 I've ever driven is my own and it's completely stock. Although obviously the KW's (and every other coilover) makes the car much more aesthetically pleasing by closing the vast expanse between tire and fender, the real reason that I swap out suspensions in my cars is for the performance benefit.

And if you read the article, it ends on a big down note: Aasbo basically says he hasn't driven the car with the new setup, so he can't comment on the performance. Bummer. The car looks better aesthetically, but big deal--there are lowered 86's all over the internet. I would like to hear what a professional driver says about a particular coilover (even if it's going to be very rose-colored because KW sponsors Speedhunters). And yes, I know there are plenty of suspension threads on this forum.
