from the discussions so far and my wallet status it looks like

t2 spings/tc purchase this year some time, install for 09 season
roll bar 4 pt. /seat this year before season
and other drivetrain stuff as the year goes along

just need that #009 tranny before extended warranty runs out

i think by next year its possibility of being dedicated to the track with a couple of cruising miles here and there

thanks for the info guys

Keep in mind the group buy on the DA Konis is of limited duration. PM me for further details.

I recently changed over from my JDM coilovers to TC Klines and T2 springs and couldn't be happier. The Koni's have a wide range of adjustment that allows you to tune it to your liking. I had no idea my car could handle as well as it does now.
i checked in the competition section (i didn't even know one existed) and didn't see it. care to link?

]to be quite honest, i've never heard of TC Kline (i'm such a noob). but at $419 each (from their website) plus springs, that's a little more than i wanted to spend.

TC Kline is known to build low power BMW race cars that still win their classes.

He's plugged at Koni and can get closer to race spec internal mounted in "Street" damper chassi.

Very good stuff.

TC also campaigned the 350Z in SCCA T2 competition a few years ago. He's well-known and respected in SCCA and Grand-Am circles. I don't want to violate any GB posting rules here, so PM me on the GB pricing. I will say it's FAR below what the website lists.
