Pretty much my dream car right now. Love them, but those rolling chassis are insane costing.

Just finished the installing the new coil overs love them already for me they fit great and ride great. They are really not that bad on the ride then what I was expecting but I'm use to a gokart so thats not saying much.

They are Tein Flex coil overs thanks to Michael.Finney
10K front spring with a 24.5" ride height and set on standard rebound
8K rear spring with a 25" ride height and set on standard rebound

What a great car. I'd LOVE to have something like this. Guess I need to start hassling the boss for a raise. You gonna take it to a strip just to see? I know its more for autocross.

Hows the weight transfer to the rear tires with the coilovers?

Is it harder to hook up now?
