Wow those may be the stiffest spring rates I know of on an FC. Super lightweight too, wow. Are the threads aluminum too?!

Super Functions have full aluminum construction and are extremely light.

A good shock can run a high spring rate and not break your back.

Matt, I've been contemplating switching up the accent color, I'll let you know for sure. It'd be nice to see it go to a good home.

soon, i have the summer rush coming in still so am getting backed up on work finally so trying to be sure i have space for everything. long projects take up a bit of room as i only have half as much space as i used to at the old shop you can imagine it is pretty cramped with 4 cars in the shop most days.

around mid to late summer i should be able to take it in and get started on the conversion. try to get as much of the rest sorted before then so i can have all the bolt ons ready to reassemble. it will take a bit of time reassembling the car from scratch, i never expected it to turn into a real ground up buildup from the basic rebuild that it started out as. i don't think you did either, lol.

Ben, I think you're right. lol I'm going to try and simplify it as much as possible. No P/S or A/C... that should help a bit.

Nader, just go 4 rotor bro. haha

Do either of you talk to the other Mike from sac with the RX3?

Looking for some feedback on a dogbox. Does anyone know if PPG makes one for the FD?
Edit, looking to eventually track the car, no 1/4 mile stuff here.
