Let's just say I won't have a problem keeping up with you any more. ...Oh yes....the suspension got a work over too, as did the drive train. I just wish I could be home to make the season. Oh well, there is always the year after.

When I do return, I finally have the funds to start going to track days with you. I am looking forward to it.

Ok since the cat is out of the bag....Muellerized JIC's valved for 9k f and 8k r springs. I wanted stiffer than a standard street set up, but I didn't want a full race set up. I believe this will be and ideal middle of the road setup. I got them just before Greg got the PICs, otherwise I may have reconsiderd. Oh well. I think these will work great for me.

Brendan...SHHHH no one is listeneing to you. Remember...I am in SM. I need all the help I can get.

I thought Mueller usually did a higher rear rate. IMO, you could've gone higher without compromising street ride. Mine are 12k,10k and they ride smooth..like stock when they're clicked down to full soft. JIC's tend to be bouncier than some others though..
Did you buy them new or used?
What kind of wheel/tire combo are you going to run? The Wrx's were pretty fast this past year in SM running 265 V710's. I was WAY under tired trying to run with them on my hard 245 AO32R's Hopefully I will level things out a bit this year with my setup.

That's what I was going to say, 9k/8k is an odd setup to say the least. The JIC's I had on my car last year were 10k/12k, and my new setup is stiffer than that. They are still very streetable though.

I would like to bring my car out and run an event or two in SM this year. Not sure if the race schedule will permit it though.

*cough* I need a co-driver *cough*

Oh, btw -- over the weekend holiday my cell phone died on me. It does not look like Verizon will be able to recover the phone numbers either (bastards!!!) So if you all could shoot me a pm with your number that would be great -- thanks!

I already told you I would co-drive, where's the SCCA schedule at????? You're in BSP right? I'd like to take my car out and see how it stacks up in SM, and to get my sponsors some more exposure.

Yeah, I'd take your car out if I were you too. In fact, being the nice guy that I am, I will even drive you car for you! How about that?!! All the work and no mess! heh
