405 is backed up all the way to bellevue in the mornings. Honestly, I'd leave an hour and 15 minutes beforehand.

So far I'm lovin' life on the Robi-Spec KW V3 Clubsports. Street ride is a little better than stock and I run spring rates higher than Robi typically uses. I got the shocks while I was in Utah, but just got the springs rates finalized when Robi made it up here.

I'll be adjusting the dampers until I find my favorite street set-up. I'm also going to play with more agressive set-ups on the weekend and really get an idea of the adjustment range and such.

I had to pull out from a blind corner yesterday and a car "popped" out as I pulled out... so I hit the gas in first gear - when boost came on it was a serious power oversteer show. I'm going to soften the swaybar a click and back off the bump on the rears a little.

It's hard to say since I dont know what JUST the sway bar would have made it feel like, all I know is that the car turns in fast, and pulls through the corner's even faster, I'm very happy with what I got

I'll learn :P it's not as easy to learn when you dont have size 14 shoes like you; you just have to flick your foot and you hit the gas :P

Don't use your heel, use the outside of your foot. Inside of your right foot on the brakes and then just "lean" or "roll" your foot over to tap the gas.
