holy shiet...wheels off the ground with HKS coils? Those have got to be some serious turns...how do you like the HKS coilovers as an overall deal? Im assuming they are on your daily driver...i could be wrong tho.

There's also that canyon in Colma across Highway 101 from Candestick (I always forget what the canyon's name is). You can access it from near the Serramonte car dealerships.
BTW, are you a Gundam fan?

i drive touge...Me and my friends over here drive the local one often. Yes i agree with all of you that us young drivers(im 19) have to have a place to learn and get better. I have been in spirited runs one on one...And some people dont know there limits and ive been behind when someone has crashed right infront of me.(big run lots of people he was trying to show off). Anywho i am in santa cruz and you are welcome to come and have some fun with us...
good luck and safe driving.

i love them. The suspension isn't that stiff for street IMO, spring rates are only 7kg F and 5kg R. Now they are 30 way adjustable (haha a little overkill) and for street i normally have them at about 19 clicks from full soft on the front and 20 in the rear. Now the ride quality is pretty good, better than my old springs w/ stock struts and a ton stiffer. When i goto highway 9 though i make it alot stiffer, all depends on the road really. When i was on hamilton i had it at the same stiffness and it was way to stiff for that road. Also these coilovers are VERY quiet compared to other cars ive rode in (tein flex and cusco zero2's/zero2r's)

Sweet. Yeah my buddy has the Flex's and they ARE loud, but whatever, as long as they are supposed to be like that, i dont mind. 30 way adjustable is a bit much, lol, but nice if you use em.

crap man, I can either buy IC and injectors and get a reflash, or let my new turbo sit in the garage and get some nice coilovers and tires to rip around corners....such a hard decision

) and i was the 2nd car following Jansolo. We went around a turn pretty quick and after coming out i looked in my rear view mirror and saw the evo behind me with his back end coming around then snapping back and forth.

I'm so glad to here that no one goes where I do heh.
Man.... driving hard down O'Shaughnessey just isn't too bright. There is WAY too much traffic on there. If you don't care about your own life, at least care about the stupid yuppies in their Volvos!
