Robi to Florida, Group Buy? Who's in?

Trying to get together a Suspension Tuning day for EVO's, where Robi (from www.robispec.com) will fly out here and work on up to four cars. Location will be centered on wherever all of us are from.

What: Robi Suspension Tuning
Location: TBD
When: TBD
Why: Faster 1/4 mile, Faster Lap / Auto-X Time, Better Car Control

The cost for people is for whatever you want done as listed below, this was pulled from another thread, so it may vary slightly. The menu (all prices include parts, labor, and shipping):


  1. Espilir GT Springs ($400)
  2. Rear Sway-Bar ($250)
  3. Rear Bushings ($175)
  4. Rear Bump Steer Correction ($195)
  5. Roll Fenders to fit 275 tires ($300)
  6. Custom Alignment ($180)
  7. Corner Weighing ($250)
Robi also offers other non-suspension stuff (like underbody aero panels, brake cooling ducts, etc.) Call Robi with special request / questions (or post in this thread).


Who:

1. Pepsi

I can do everything with a flat floor, jackstands, air and a bushing press. A lift sure makes my life easier though...;-)

We're dotted with Porsche race shops with exotic alignment tables, just asking to see how over the top we could be.

a shop would def be preferred, but if it comes down to it, i'm sure i can get some open space at my location here in ft. pierce.

No press or lift though.

What dates are good for you guys? I suggested june 24/25, just because it's a CHIN Sebring event, and it'd be a time to test your stuff out, however, most of you haven't attended a school by them, and so you'll be a n00b, which means you can't run on sunday, only on sat.

If only you guys would get into using your suspensions

I have to figure out just what suspension I want, the KW's are looking more and more appealing every day.
