x2, buy a tune and save up for good coilovers instead of just springs that will upset the shock & spring balance.


BTW Joe @Dynotronics1 how is my car doing Cant wait to test her out @ COTA

i dont see the problem with a drop. RCE springs r designed with fuction>form in mind. most drivers will not install coilovers and have them set up properly to use them at 100% anyway. if he is planning on slamming the car then this is another story.

No he is planning the RCE's (at least atm) I am biases since they're my RCE's, but the Koni inserts later are just as good as coilovers and much better than budget brand coilovers

Try Sam's or Costco, one of those places usually has deals on Michelin tires.

still need to get it on the dyno, but the calibration is done, and you have a new track file in the second position.

New pipe is a nice part,btw...........

Hey, as far as the twisted sisters route nothing significant to report. There were no mountain goats in the road this time. The gravel wasnt as bad on the road compared to prior outings. However there were some people standing in the middle of the road taking pictures (cause thats a good idea), but I dont think they will ever do it again and may have had a brown out. I hope you all enjoy the route as much as I do, sadly I will be out of town or I would be there.

I'd recommend the Adams products to keep it looking that way after your opticoat!
