    what series have you been racing in? If you're refering to cheap sleeve coilovers I would say you have a valid point, but otherwise...

So my suspension set up and engine always has to be a peak performance. As you prob take the show aspec of imports seriously it's only safe to say that I take the racing serious as well. Having raced in the SCCA for 4 years I have a vast knowledge of suspension and engine set ups. I have spent well over $2,000 on my suspension and even more money and time on my engine. With the latteral G's we push at the SCCA track I have not seen one Coilover suspension setup. All the drivers will tell you that it is a serious NO NO B/C of the performance failure and the hidden dangers. Don't get me wrong they are great for show vehicles that just need a decent drop and or to slam it @ a show then raise it up for normal driving but, at 115 on the highway, on the track, or in a tight corner I would not risk it with coilovers.
    oh yeah if you talk with hatch 77 AKA Ricer On Call let him know that I'm still callin him out and to put his $1,000 or Title were his mouth is :idb: otherwise shut the fuck up!!!! Thanx! Your Invited when we get a race set up!

    what does my post count have to do with anything? You claimed that you've been involved w/ SCCA in racing for 4 years, and you say you have never seen a "coilover" set up used in race cars... you're not refering to stock SOLO 2 class right lol?! That's the only one I can come up with that outlaws aftermarket coilovers.
