Re: Coil-Over maintenance/upkeep?

I dunno, The tried-and-true systems for the NSX come from KW, JIC, & TEIN before you get into the stupid expensive or dangerously inexpensive/cheap. So I'm trying to fall in the "already proven on my car" range without breaking the bank. Those are the brands I am looking at, with the ...

Re: Coil-Over maintenance/upkeep?

Well, I beat the shit out of my BC Racings on my WRX. AND I was running 10k/12k springs, so they were super stiff. Lots of autox and crappy roads.

Re: First Event was great!

I walked twice and ran the novice walk through. I saw plenty of people walking and chatting on their cell phones that would have been much better off actually paying attention to what they were doing. Yeah, I was trying to pay attention to you, but those inconsiderate kids were chatting away, makin...
