What is a "street restoration"? Does that mean a modded car was returned to stock?

coilovers are the best solution, but if you're hellbent on staying on OEM shocks you could always consider camber plates... as I understand it, it will let you add camber by adjusting the top part of the strut's alignment, and not changing the tire-to-strut distance.

$620 though. I may as well just get the Ohlins R&T at that point.

You know that, short of the Ohlins or another top brand, you're going to be unhappy.

[Clipdat]

It's true. I have expensive tastes on a shoestring budget.

LOL If I were to make one called "Help support the sheep!" I think people would think something completely different

That feeling when you are going out of town for 10 days and won't be able to drive your car...

Where are you going?

[Clipdat]

Wisconsin to visit family.

Fortunately half the time will be spent with my dad checking out his MR-2 Spyder. Unfortunately I wasn't able to locate any good driving roads anywhere in a 200 mile radius around his house. The only corners/turns are 90 degree right angles, no S-curves or elevation changes anywhere. I would hate owning a FR-S if I never had any good driving roads to take it on. Damn.
