SS has a similar drop in PAX but overall street class isn't changing a whole lot other than us. Good news!

Yes, Street-R is done other than SSR. This was planned from the inception of Street.

FS actually got a more "friendly" bump than us.

it certainly gives you some breathing room of 1 second on a 60 second course over an STX twin.

which is a 0.6s improvement.

Quick question for those who have Koni's. Is it a worth while mod, did you actually feel pretty big difference or is more along the lines of "well everyone runs them so they must make a difference"

I personally felt a difference. Much better weight transfer in the slalom sections.

I really like being able to tune the shocks for racing and then adjust them back to full soft for daily driving. They're my personal second favorite mod after tires.

If you don't feel you're getting 97% of what the car is capable of right now, you can save your money and your OEM shocks.

My car felt much better after switching to the Koni's, and the ability to change the balance of the car without resorting to obnoxious tire pressures is very important if you're competing at a high level.

What he said ^^

I'd suggest Tires, front bar, wheels, exhaust and THEN Konis in terms of importance.
