Austin area have coilovers on your ZN6?

I'm looking at coilovers for my FR-S and am curious if anyone in the Austin area has some on their FR-S or BRZ and would be interested in talking about them and giving me a ride to see how they feel.

One suggestion would be to go to the Spokes Autocrosses and ride with the STX prepped cars. Those guys are usually willing to allow a passenger. Plus you get to autocross at Circuit of the Americas, which is kind of fun.

I'm more looking for how they operate on the street and how they behave in a daily scenario.

Depends on what coilover system you purchase and how you set them up.

All of the STX guys drive their cars to the autocross, so you could discuss that with them there as well.

That's what I'm looking to figure out. Can armchair discuss it ad nauseum, but I'd like to discuss it with the guys running it on the same streets and experience it for myself.
