OUCH, those aren't really streetable coilovers. You do know the spring rates they use on the RS's vs the other jic's, right? 944lbs front 1062lbs rear Every person I've seen use them say's not to use them off the track. With rate's like that, their talking sense. Unless you don't plan on driving the car on the street any more. I'd think a better choice would be the regular JIC's if you ever plan on street driving. Just a observation gleamed from reading owner experience's with the RS JIC's.

I have the Cusco's on my sedan. For what you want to do, I'd recommend the EVO350 bar's with their adjustablity and 20% less rear bar stiffness. Don't get me wrong I like the Cusco's, but in a competition enviroment I think a little less than the Cusco's 73% rear bar stiffness over stock would net you better balance and faster times. In any event, I think I'm talking about a fractional time difference if at all.

Good for you, go road racing, but for $20 and a loaner helmet, I think it is a pretty good deal. I am not going to shell out $300+ to go racing for one weekend. Maybe in the future, but right now, I think I am sticking with AutoX.
