My turn to flex... :D
Seems everyone's in a sharing mood so I'll contribute one. Just got these from Mr. UPS today. Me likes. 
BTW, if ppl were planning to part w/ a good chunk of change, Guy Ankeny is THE man to call. He's so easy going and is part of the SCCA SEB, preps most of the winning cars, and was the brains behind the TriPoint-all-conquering-ASP-FD3S of yore (suspension-wise). www.ankenyracing.com
I AM SO STOKED!!!!!!!!!!!!

These are full threaded-body coil-overs custom-valved to match the spring rates. The fronts will be stiffer than the Eibachs in my current GC kit and the rears will be softer.Puma, i gotta remove the current set and clean them...i'm PM ya when I'm ready to ship....K?

ok
well i was saying GC because they seem to use eibach springs like the GC kit.
what is the spring rate, i can't see really well on the pic, is it 650/350?
As soon as you can get me my suspension, it would be nice because i might have a customer for my present setup.

I'd like to expediate my suspension swap too....I can't even take it to the shop and have them do it. My UIM + TB is off to TwinTurboTeddy for polishing and my lights are en-route to RX7even for conversion.
Hey...is it easy to take out your front 6.5"? I wanna see the template/bracket used to mount those speakers. Thx.

You suck. Now I have another thing on the looooong list of stuff to get. I can imagine that I won't get those for a long time, but I still want them...maybe if'n I win the lottery
Pump et up!

) is not required. It'll prolly give me too many parameters for my feeble brain to deal with. Besides, these are custom-valved and can be reshimmed during rebuild to the adjustability is really fine tuning cuz the dampers are built to spec.
Can't wait to try them out.
O...going from dubs to trips will cost me an extra $400 per damper!!!!

Truechoice doesn't include bump stops with their shocks unless you specifically ask for them, because the spring selected won't allow the shock to bottom out unless you go with more than a 2" drop in ride height.
Very nice. I'm jealous.

Thx gordon. (btw, read that article bout your car...very nice)
Yeah...i decided to go with Penske over the 2812 cuz it's slightly less dough and Guy Ankeny really knows Solo2. The TrueChoice or ProParts guys were good but didn't really seem to give too much info.
I'll definitely report back after my first event with them...so looking forward to it!
