You'd be better off going with some Koni's and use the springs you have now.

I think it's the lack of rebound adjustment. They're just fixed rate.

According to what I read they have 16 positions that adjust compression and rebound together.

That's the reason I dislike mine, they're great driving around town but pretty soft for track use. No adjustability
Did you pick up the teins?

Yes I did. Right after I did the o2 sensor took a crap. I hope to install them in late April early May. I'll also be getting the toyo r1rs or the star specs. Anyone have a preference ??

I like my toyo's (ra-1)...but hear good things about the star spec's too.
Make sure you get a good alignment once the coilovers go in! You may want to consider adding camber adjustment bolts in the front while the struts are out anyways.

Btw, have you registered for may 22? I tried again today but paypal rejected me lol apparently I need to verify with a bank account...

Track day #3 is now history. The car is once again holding up well. Had to do the brakes when I got home. I really think on this track even with only 100 HP I need a LSD. I am having issues when going uphill though the twisties. Any ideas ? Whos comming out for August ? Pics are posted on Sigmas Web page from May and June. Their Facebook page has some from July.

No the clutch is still holding well. Its not slipping. I know this because when I step on the gas the RPMs and Speed are still going up together.
