Suspension Tuning "Group Buy"
Hey Kyle - are you okay with the date / day of the week (June 1, Wed)? You don't have to commit to getting anything done yet, but I want to make sure you can take advantage of this if you decide to do so. I need to book the ticket soon or it will get more expensive, so let me know - thanks!
The next open track day on Pacific Raceway around that time is Tuesday June 7th (Novice/Intermediate/Advanced Lapping Day). However, considering how dead this thread is, it looks like I'm going to be the only guy anyway. I'll give you a ring Monday and we'll figure something out.
I need to check out my suspension, I think one of the shocks needs to be rebuilt. I would hate to have it setup only to have to take it apart again. Let me take a look and try and figure out if I can get it fixed in time to take part of this.
I sent my suspension off for warranty...hopefully it will be back in time. Turns out I had one leaky shock and excessive play in another.

I had some rattling/clunking sounds. I took a look and all the bolts were tight, but when I moved the strut around I could feel some play where the piston mates up to the shock. I also found some oil leaking on one of the rears from the same area. Apparently it's not uncommon for JIC's to have problems of this type.

I've searched the site a couple times but couldn't find more information about this suspension setup. Could you post a link with more info about this package with the Espilir springs?
My suspension is stock now except for more neg camber using the stock eccentric bolt. I also have 17x9's with 255 pilot cups. I run the car about 6 times a year in lapping days but am more interested in a street-tuned suspension for canyon driving. I wouldn't want super stiff spring rates or a really low ride-height. Would this work for my needs? Can I fit 275's with one-piece wheels?

Hi Eric - give Robi a call (his number is on the first post too, click on the link to his site). He's a slow typer (he says) so he doesn't post much, but he's very helpful on the phone
