Thebiggdaddy....yes, I do have the MS kit on my 8. My transmission was causing me problems prior to this event, so I ended up co-driving in Ghost's 8.
Takahashi...Please pm Ghost, he will be more than willing to let you know about his suspension setup. He has some interesting components and his ride is very stiff. As for handling...it was easy to get used to his setup....but the biggest differences I found with his car is that his suspension transfers quickly to the front and makes the rear feel really lose...(I have the MS suspension), and the 17 inch tires offer some interesting differences as well given the amount of sidewall flex you get transitioning around corners.

HA HA HA HA.... I have used that line before too! Ask Rodrigo67 about my tires just before a RAINY run that we went on... I believe his thought was "Oh my God... are those even legal?!" The answer of course was HELL NO! Unfortunately I did have to take it easy on that run because the car was just sliding all over the place.
I did get new shoes after that (OEM bridgestones from a fellow 8 owner slight;ly used) in May 2006. By August 06' they weren't inspectable! SO I went to the local slap and stick inspection garage and drove it till Dec!
I have new tires ordered though...
Just be careful!
