I always thought buying coilovers were about the color of the shock and spring.

I run whatever color springs that match my valvecover. In paddock, I put mirrors down so people can see the underside of my car. BOOM!

Kidding aside, I ran 10/12 on the Ohlins. Think I might just run 10/10 or 12/12 next time around. I don't have sway bars.

Just cause its a rally car doesn't mean you can go off-roading. Short cuts over the curbs and grass don't count. You have to keep all 4 wheels on the black stuff.

all day errday like waa.

BTW, Nick had a blast last weekend. He even went all four off on turn one, sliding sideways into the dirt. I think he was pissed he got his clean z06 a little dirty. He did good though. he wasn't scared of the power at all and actually enjoyed sliding the car around a little.

He said he's hooked and is gonna be doing one event a month next year... we shall see.
