Revalved MR Bilsteins are better than new HD Bilsteins. Revalved for your spring set, car usage and driving style makes more sense. Besides the fact Andrew from GT Worx told me to do that. It is $75 per strut, $65 per shock. I shipped to California by Fedex, it was $70 insured one way. So total cost is approx. $420 total without any additional parts needed. Do it this way, makes sense.
I must give AIB credit, he steered me toward GT Worx set up in the beginning of this process. I found used MY Bilsteins on Ebay for $480 shipped. Swift Spec R springs were $315 shipped, so I spent $1215 for my set up, $800 more than I originally planned, YAY!

I'm at a loss now. At first he was interested in an STI/WRX hatch and MS3 but now he's set on an automatic so those are out. I can't come up with anything else aside from a GTI or R32 with dsg.
It can't be coupe or small sedan. Can you think of anything else.
He wants to save a bit on fuel so a turbo four cylinder would be best.
He's going to end up in a ford focus, I know it!

Its not really on the fly if you have to turn the car off to do it.. Just sayin...COME AT ME BRO!
Thanks Dan for breaking that down, minus the last post.
See AIB, people start with comments to me and I cannot help myself and respond.
I have (3) VP and a 5 gallon plastic jug. With your flow and go that gives me 25 gallons, a tank and 3/4's.
I am not sure how you guys have your cars flashed, but there is a mod you can do to switch maps on the fly. Basically you hold accelerator to floor for a few seconds while car is not running but ignition is on, once map switches the check engine light flashes a few times and then you are good to go. So my plan would be to use up all E85 and just switch maps to pump, load up on pump gas and call it a day if I ran out.
I also was thinking of rolling like that while daily driving if it is not to bad starting. I figure going from E85 to pump is not as much worry as going from pump to E85. I would want to drain out the pump gas as not to funk up the fuel and cause a problem. Obiviously car will be tuned for both fuels, so switch on the fly is no biggie. I am switching to EBC so I do not have to mess with turning boost down manually.
No one is set up like how I am saying? I would not run E85 either if I could switch on the fly, deal breaker.
