    Off the shelf yellow Konis. $750 - $800
    Both ends adjustable at the top.
    It rides about stock with the shocks.

    The Hotchkis Bars are like the MS-R bars but
    adjustable. I have read Hotchkis made the MS-R bar.
    The ride changed some with the sways.

    The sways are what make the MS-R package work. The spring rate increase is
    small compared to what they run in STR. STR springs runs 800-700F and 500-400R range.

    No those are yellow Bilsteins. I have the black Tokicos. They are monotube too.

    BTW NC Eunos has Tein Flex coilovers with Hotchkis bars. He also has all the extra bracing except for the one in the trunk I think.

    In hindsight, I wish I got the sport suspension package for the LSD. I have an open diff and hate it.

    I know you're considering STR, but the 07 allows the MSR pkg like KB did, and it seems pretty awesome. Plus, you get the option of CS w sticky tires or TCS/STR w street tires. Just saying...

    Also, there is a Progress FSB on the pointy board classifieds for $75

    I'm about to the point where I'm not going to worry about being class legal. I'll just play with the clubs that don't care about classing, and
    possibly catch a co-drive at those clubs that do.
