Well since I got such a good responce to my suspension problem from you'll. I decided to go with the Koni Yellows and Steeda comp springs. I got 15% off the Konis from Auto Anything plus free shipping. Ordered them Thursday morning and got them today about 24 hrs total time!!! The Steeda springs were 5% off and free shipping. They will be here Saturday. So sometime next spring I'll have a set of used but not abused D-spec's for sale and a set of Tein gold springs.
Merry Christmas to me

Hey Darrell that is some good stuff....I was just teasin ya the other day.

I have bigger adjustable sway bars on both ends. With the Watts link the rear has to be set at the hardest setting. The Fronts are set on the softest setting. When it was on the hardest setting I couldn't turn the car. The middle setting was a little better but the softest setting has worked the best. I think they are 35mm thick. The steeda springs got here today. Delivery guy was bangin on the front door at 8am sharp. Also that picture is about 1/2 way thought the 360 degree skid pad. so that was a continues corner for about 15 seconds.

Hey Scott I was thinking that there's probably not a lot more you can do with your car in the way of performance modifications.
That is, except for a forged motor and a blower. So when is that happening?
Darrell did you get your new parts installed yet?

They will probably be installed a week before you fix the gas tank.

He He...Not on this car. Karen and I are very deep into planning our retirement in the next 2 years. Every extra dime in going to owe "nothing to nobody" in 18 months. Nothing left for the car anymore. I guess we are turning the next page in our lives.
I bet you I am debt free before you fix that gas tank. :-)

Hey Darrell,
I was reading on the Maximum Motorsports site that even experienced drivers have difficulty setting up D Specs. Because there are four corners to the car and different adjustments they recommend a set sport or racing dampener. That way the driver can be sure of how the car will react and won't get lost in the trial and error of setting up the car. Especially if that not their specialty. Drivers in race series don't set up their own cars. They tell their crew chief what the car is doing and let them handle it.
So in short I'd say you made the right choice in switching to the Konis.
