Try TMR, they r my fave, Doug Gale is a cool guy

If we form a good 10 peeps group that go regularly, we can potential to reserve garage or covered parking for a good deal

Nope, big five mile double day in early June: http://www.hookedondriving.com/event...,_June_7_and_8
Assuming of course the track is ready; they've had some delays and such on paving it (various people I've talked to have had differing opinions on if it will be paved in time). Here is some awesome news though: http://instagram.com/p/n8SfEZuD1t/

When I was scheduling my roll bar getting installed by TC designs I made very damn sure that it would be ready for that double day! I've been looking forward to this for quite a while now! (though not nearly as long as some people, I haven't been doing this stuff for that long)

So I would like to get some opinions on a mostly street but some autocross and hopefully a bunch of 86cup races. I'm thinking about doing the swift springs, bilstein b6 dampeners, and raceseng camber plates and some arms out back. Anyone have experience with a similar setup?

After that I am also signed up for the HOD MRLS day at the end of June after which I will head straight to Buttonwillow for the Lemons race. I am not sure what other, if any days I will be doing in June. And of course I'm singed up for Fontana in early July...
Which organizer will you be running with?

Not that specific setup, but you can't go wrong with any of those items. I've experienced all three in various combinations, and they're all quality parts.

What about spec-r swift springs mated to b8's?

On phone I am. Therefore, if mistakes I make, Frank Oz blame you should.

Brake pads, and brake fluid. I'd get that before the suspension bits.

All of the items you mentioned are items we carry; let us know when you're ready!

I think this is going to be their first time at auto club speedway; not completely certain but based upon what I have read, I think it is.

I like how they run events and the instructors that they have. I might be a intermediate driver now, but I totally will grab an instructor if given the chance.
Out of the four groups I have run with, HOD and GGR Porsche club are the two that I will actively watch the schedules of, though HOD more than the Porsche club because I stuck out like a sore thumb among the sea of 911s.
