I run BC Racing Coilovers. Their distribution center is in Orlando and I was their test fit car before they released them. They do the job just fine!

Yeah that's why I removed the springs I had.. running Eibach R2s now.. they might need more bump travel in the rear to be sebring friendly, I'll find out soon hopefully.

Not sure honestly. Job situation is.. uhmm.. fluid at the moment and I have a race with Chump at Daytona in late may, and maybe Charlotte MS in June. Assuming I do both of those my track funds will be spent for both months, so July probably.. if one or both of those races fall through, probably May 11th with PCA (only because I might be in Cali first May weekend - and Chin might be full I haven't looked), otherwise Chin in June

Hoosier contingency is available at every event.

I'm going to try to bring the car to VIR in July when I'm there for the Ultimate Track Car Challenge (driving something else... with quite a bit more horsepower)

Current record at VIR is a 2:14.something in TTD... pretty damn quick around there for a D car! It was set in an MX-5. Probably a Playboy Cup car, but I have no idea what mods it had above and beyond the MX-5 Playboy Cup spec, if anything - the Florida region posts everyone's spec sheets if you're a competitor, but nobody else does that, that I'm aware of.

As for OLOA... not this year. I wish. Leh's gonna be tough to beat in that new GTR. I've done the event twice, but I'd love to give it another go in a car capable of challenging for an overall win. So, basically, a GTR.
