^ I've ridden along with you, it doesn't feel as stiff as it actually is. (oh boy, does that sound wrong).

I had heard they don't tolerate high speed turns very well(I think Steve Ekstrand had some troubles at the previous event on that right hand sweeper).

I've always figured you could get away with the super high spring rates because most of the cars are running some nuts penske or Koni 30 series shock that let you get away with it.

I'm not to worried about the struts on that car they've lived a long and very very hard life plus they suck so it gives me a reason to upgrade. But that $800 bill is going to be a bit tough to swallow so its down to street driving for awhile but gives me more incentive to get the yaris competitive. Knowing its still to slow with Tom Berry driving tells me I need to drop my wheels and tires down to a 195/50/15 size which means R1R's are in my future.

LOL I didn't think anyone actually hit the diamond dead center
