Lemme get the issues solved out with this drivetrain and learn the diffs. More than happy to give you a ride along.

*Drove the car on some clover leaf on ramps. OMG does it handle way differently than it did before*

I plan on readjusting the height as well as going to Roger Kraus for a corner balance once I get my Audio Integrations Box and get all the weight sorted out. I'm almost debating on relocating the battery to the trunk still.

Not on the street dingis. I can drive on onramps all by myself. Even with mad miles and squeeks and terds falling out of my exhaust I smash clovers faster than most.

Just saying.
Maybe it was uncomfortable for you, but I've been in some cars running 10k+ springs on the street and were surprisingly comfortable.

Just saying

Most of the cars with Japanese coilovers I've ridden in have felt pretty stiff, though.

FlatOutSuspension C57i-1 Coilover Review (For those that are not sure what they want)

I'm not one of the fastest in the county, but I do place usually around 20th overall, or better, (straight time) regionally.

I do how to drive a AWD car pretty well, I know what works and I know enough to setup my own car to be far, far faster of a machine that I can max out with my driving level.

I just saw the spring rates... WOW!

But then again Hide's car is likely 400lbs heavier than mine, so me being 10k/9k is probably ideal. (Though Aaron will say 10k/10k is better, but, I have found this more to my liking)
