Please talk me into or out of any of these parts.


CSG tein flex A
PBM LCA, toe, traction arm, and tie rod
Roll center adjuster - Please suggest brand
Bushings - whiteline full kit

I appreciate any help. Thanks!

Serious question. Driving hard is reserved for the young?

Interesting that the discussion seemed generalized to S2k's not driving hard? Or perhaps I misread.

As far as age, nah. Just that I always see S2k's driven by younger people and it was cool to see that it was someone a bit older who also enjoys owning that car, not to mention driving it hard.

The car didn't seem relevant to the end of your comment.

Poorly worded, .

As said, I guess because of the area I'm in I feel like I rarely see people other than my "peers" driving sports cars, other than at Cars and Coffee type meets. So the kind of car, the kind of driving, and the kind of driver in particular were interesting to me at the time.

Also, Tcoat why are ya gettin' on my case about this?!?!

I wasn't on your case I was honestly curious why it would be interesting to you. I hear similar comments all the time.

How do those hold up over time? I see no mention of longevity by anyone when talking about upgrading bushings.

I only put about 6k miles a year on the car, and I don't do any competition, so I guess I can't comment yet. It has been almost 2 years and no change.

Lol no more like 50+. We don't all live with perfect weather all the time, so it's typically the same folks who can afford a Corvette, Porsche, Lotus etc. as a second/third/fourth car and have a place to keep it.

So the wife and I are needing window treatments. We found a company with good references. You pick a designer and they work with you. We had a choice of a guy and a gal. I asked my wife, "is he gay?" , she says, "on yea".

Easy choice.
