Hi, welcome! Yes, of course you can come along to the next meetup! Don't think sitting in the car is a problem!

Spyder, have you gotten yours already?

2F2F, car feels great, eh?:D

Spyder, sounds like a good idea! See you on Saturday then. I'm very keen to find out how the car feels with the HKS stuff.

one of the 8 already has fitted the HKS (if not wrong, he might be the first in the world except for HKS test car) , according to him, it is more comfortable than original and the handling is much better as well, this guy is quite particular about his drive hence i think that the coilovers are really well made!!!

see u at garage R on sat then

Thats very interesting, as I always had the impression that HKS suspension gives a very harsh ride in exchange for better handling. Sounds very promising indeed!

More temptations...!:p

yep, that was indeed my reservation in ordering the coilovers initially but was rest assured by lester that hypermax II was designed for street rather than circuit, went and did some homework on the web and discovered that it was indeed true it was meant more for comfort. anyway, been tested and the feedback sound rather promising!!
