Where the 86 are more than the sum of their parts. They feel better outside the S2K gearbox. And I think choosing the S2K is more about nostalgia now.

I was wondering why he couldn't soften the shocks, in the video they even talk about how the shocks he had installed responded better to adjustment. Imagine driving that stiff in the rain!

I have the same shocks with the same spring rates. Dude has them installed or adjusted wrong, it looks like it's hitting bumpstops constantly. Mine rides barely stiffer than stock.
