I wish I could help you Mike but I really dont remember I only had mine for a few days. But question for you. How do you like your Progress Tech Sways? I am thinking of getting some to stiffen everything up more.

Cole what time is it? I work until 12:45 on sundays I could meet up for lunch.

I think registration is usually at like 8 and the racing starts at 9 or 10. It would be after 1245 when it got over.

I only got the front sway bar, but it's really nice; it made a huge difference in my ability to take slaloms at autocross events. Turn-in response is a bit better, too.

www.stlsolo.org has the event schedule listed. I believe registration closes at 830. The event usually goes til 4.

Sweet. This is shaping up for a good meet. I think one of the many 8's around school is going to come too. He may not race, he may just ride along and observe this time around.

I don't mind either. My fastest time last time around was with a passenger. And I am really only doing this for fun.

Koni yellow or tokico d-spec matched with tein s-tech's? Spirited daily driver (garaged for winter) and maybe some track events down the road.

I've read that the tokico are adjustable for all 4 and are slightly better at street comfort. Still an upgrade from stock. (Rx8inStl) why did u have them on for only 3 days?

Thought I had a blown shock, found out I didnt. So I ended up just getting rid of them and bought coilovers.

Something tells me the ones in the FS section are not for sale.

If you are getting some though id suggest the progress techs.

It is Sunday morning at the Family Arena in St. Charles. Registration closes around 8:30. Go to www.stlsolo.com to register and get some more info. It is a great time man!

Also, earlier this summer I was behind you in my mom's charger and heard you driving your car down by quicktrip in Bethalto. It sounded nice!
