why? I have constantly tested and tracked and used various parts over the last 18 months. This just HAPPENS to be the last final configuration. I played with various set ups to maintain a super neutral car at 10/10ths. There is one corner at Summit point that I was working up to taking FLAT and did it about 3 times. When I did pull it off it was worth 1.5 seconds ! That required a certain set up and I found it. So like anything else once you find THAT SWEET SPOT.......

you dont touch it.

Not to mention when I had my 04 STI what separated us from the average wanna be suspension vendors was the fact that we over 4 years daily drove, tracked, 10-12hr road tripped over 14 different coilover and shock brands. THAT gave us direct experience with all of the various quality brands of that era.

Yes while our Tarmac series coilovers is our own private label its being able to offer OPTIONS to people of varying needs that counts in the end.

There's nothing I hate more than when I walk into a TREK only, or SPECIALIZED, or PINARELLO. I want to go to a shop where they have all the brands and when I ask the guy " hey whats good for blah blah blah" he can tell me based on his vast experience which one is better suited.

Thats the reasoning behind using various brand anything on our shop car.

I tried JRZ's, KW, KW Clubs, Ohlins, T2's T zeros, and 2 other brands I wont talk about.

Saw your car at Lime Rock in July; very nice! If you should happen to put it back to stock and sell some parts, I'd be interested in some things...

Oh, you know, seats, header, front spoiler, Öhlins, nothing I can afford this month because I made no money last month (the joy of working in sales!). I'll have to see how the next couple weeks play out.

if I have to part it out the SEATS and the DIFF would be super smart swapped buys. The work to do them is time consuming.

Thanks
