car should be around 2600 at the moment. Running 8k front 8k rear. Tires and other suspension geomtry will change with the new wheels. They are a good strong coilover, I know people have had some problems with leaks, and poor customer service. But for me, they have been great. And if your looking for a smooth, bump free ride, this is not the suspension for you

haha that sooo true...even truer considering im running 500/450lb springs
my car is a tad overweight, and considering the rules of the class im racing in, its going to stay a bit porky
what wheel/tire combo are you getting?

17x9 +22 front, and 17x10 +18 enkei RPf1, Tires Im still unsure. Since the car will be only driven for track stuff, and weekend driver, well less then 5k miles at year. I was thinking a032r's. They are a great street/track tire, resonably priced. Im still deciding, and looking aqt options. My previous tires were kuhmo MX's which were a great street tire.

ive heared good things about the ao32 and ao48 tires. im running ra-1's right now, and so far they have been excellent track tires. they heat up well, and stay at a stable temperature...pretty predictable, grippy tires. im running 16's, 225f and 245r. if your still looking at tire options, i would reccomend the ra-1's
