Well, if you go with Guy, you get these prices per shock:
8300 Double adjustable: $795.00
8760 Triple adjustable: $1,325.00
And when I got mine back in 2001, price was $1,200, so over the last 15 years prices didn't go up that much. Back in days, doubles were still the same price! I do believe struts are more, but I have no prices for that.

This picture is similar to what I have on 2G: http://ankenyracingenterprises.com/i...a%20Shocks.JPG

By great, I mean being able to absorb bumps without upsetting the car. On the street, it's not Cadillac, but it definitely is better than my old cheapo coilover setup, and 100% acceptable to me.

I know as I'm aging, my tolerance level is getting lower and lower with certain aspects in regards to cars/performance mods. This time the car will be quiet, non-cammed and somewhat "under the radar" compared to my last one. Like you, I'll be a delicate little butterfly someday soon!

Hahaha!

I still remember your cammed Evo. It took off the line like a raped ape! Hopefully I'll see you @ Spring Nats.

I figured I'd recap another weekend in Lincoln!
Yesterday was HOT! Thankfully there was a breeze, but the temps were supposedly in the mid/upper 90's with mostly sunny skies.
I ran in the 3rd heat, so I felt exhausted by the time I started my heat! This time I actually got to run on the hoosiers and really wanted to see how much closer I'd come to a well prepped STI (Caged, larger single turbo, Hoosiers, and I'm guessing somewhere in the 450whp+ range). I was hoping the evo 9 was going to be there that was well prepped as well, but he didn't make it.
I probably put a bit too much heat into the tires, but I didn't have anything to spray them down with like most other people were doing throughout the day. My car has immense amounts of grip. It doesn't seem to understeer much and rarely has any oversteer. It's very neutral, but I would like it to rotate a bit more. I may just end up going with the upgraded rear diff in the near future to see how that helps. Keep in mind, I'm still on the stock bars too.
It was a pretty crazy finish between me and the driver of the STI. Each and every run, he would be in line right ahead of me. I knew on my last run I had to pull of a clean, fast lap to overtake him. As I watched him pull out of the start for his 6th run, not too far into the run he stopped and pointed out a downed cone. He would get a re-run after me running my final run....
Either way, I nailed my 6th run even though I swear I touched a cone. This was in a long slalom and I looked up in the rearview (which I shouldn't have) and by doing so, ALMOST lost control. Thankfully it was clean. 48.8 and he was at a 50 flat after 5 runs. After that was done, I watched him run his final lap, which looked fast, but he wasn't able to knock any time down.
My question is, what air pressures are you guys normally running on Hoosier A7's? I've been normally running around 39/39psi COLD. I've heard some people telling me to drop it to the low 30's HOT. Also some telling me they run in the high 40's HOT. I feel like I have a ton of grip and really am not rolling over, but I don't want to leave anything on the table here.
Fun fact. Porsche Boxters must lose their headlights easy? I was working the course and the driver hit his brakes and out popped his headlight. We also had that happen to a boxter owner in our local region? Coincidence?
Results (I'm in Street Modified only because I've flared my rear fenders. I'm at about 260whp I'd predict, with just an exhaust/no tune):

I definitely surprised myself a bit yesterday. I'm really debating whether I want to truly build this as an SM car next year and try my luck at nationals, or sell it since I've flared/cut the rear fenders, buy another evo and try my luck with a ASP setup...Decisions!
I appreciate the insight on the tire pressures as well!

I'll definitely consider this!!!
Thanks!
