[QUOTE="TTA89, post: 3784654, member: 8933"] My car still has a stock shift nob. :D If you are new to going left and right I totally agree to just go get seat time the way it is. The car isn't going to go any faster if you can't drive it any faster. My local club had an Auto X this weekend and one of the regular guys has an 04 Cobra that he just did Coilovers, CCs, Subs etc and was running on pretty good tires. He came over and asked to go for a ride with me, actually I was driving TroyV's Blue 03. We went out for a run and when we came back he said he didn't understand whats wrong with his car, its just not fast out there. I asked him if he wanted me to go with him or have him ride shotgun and I'll drive it and see if can tell whats wrong. So he brought the car around and asked me to drive. We went around and came in with a 1:33, his best of the day to that point was a 1:48. I actually ran 1 second faster in his car than in the other borrowed car I was driving. lol Anyways, point of the story is like everyone else is saying go get experience before you start changing things around. Mods do nothing if you haven't learned to drive yet. :) Also as mentioned most of us are doing drivers schools and HPDE days, yeah you shouldn't be paying attention to who you are faster than but come on guys... Tell me you don't smile when the higher end cars point you by. :bs: And just my 2 cents, I have read some bad experiences people had with getting Koni's rebuilt but no 1st hand experience. If you do want to go coil-over I totally love my MM front and rears and wouldn't even look elsewhere if I did it again. They are silent and the car rides nice on the street with 375/550 springs. For around $150 bucks plus shipping you can send the front struts off to Bilstien and they will revalve and dyno them for whatever spring rates you want to run. I'm getting ready to try 425/600s but need to get the struts revalved 1st. [url]http://www.bilstein.com/services.php[/url] [/QUOTE]
