$1000 pickup for the coilovers

I'm still cleaning up the parts, but if you send me a private message I can send pictures, etc. As slartibartfast said, only the parts he bought have been sold so far, I also took the power steering cooler off, so that's available now as well. Z1 kit with a setrab core.

Please, no sales outside of the Classifieds per the FAQ. Splitter, you'll have to create an ad.

I was considering to change the suspensions. For struts and shocks I found a price at RockAuto 249.54 shipped all 4. and labor was around 230.

I am still thinking to change them with coilovers instead of struts and shocks. If I decide to get coilovers I will be getting yours.

A sweaty time was had by all. Turn out was kind of low but that was better for the drivers. Took my car out only one session and learned rather quickly I hadn't properly bedded my pads to Splitter's light-weight rotors. Still managed to dismay my student riding along when I reached 110 mph down the "front" straight. She might have touched 80 there in her Eco-boost Mustang. She also rode in a track-***** S2000; she found that ride violent compared to my cushy street car (I forgot to stiffen the MeisterR).

9.8 mpg in just under 25 miles, 3 of which were round trip to the gas station down a high-speed divided hwy.
