I had no idea, the local race track (Ruapuna) is running speed events every month, only need a racing license, a bolted in fire extinguisher, and helmet and you are good to go! Now I need suspension... hmmmm

Wow, congratulations!

Now you just have to figure out a way to make more money or how to get sponsors.

Screw sponsors...

I have enough money for some suspension... I am thinking coilover bils or koni and some 968 sways... should be enough for now.

This is only the beginning, soon you will need new brake components, a couple of sets of track wheels and stuff.

i've heard bilsteins are better. my mechanic does a fair bit of work with p-cars...well he's a p-car mechanic lol. i can't remember his exact words, but he thought konis were a bit of an in between shock, a bit harsh for the street and not firm enough for the track (obviously a broad generalisation of koni as a brand, not any particular model of koni). he liked bilsteins b/c he felt they were firmer, and for some reason not as 'harsh' on the street. at least i think that's what he said, it was a while ago .
