Mike,

No, the Motons haven't arrived yet. My car is sitting all by its lonely self in the cold, dark garage, just waiting for the new coilovers to help bring it closer to track perfection.

Mark, What suspension setup do you have right now?
How many inches from the ground to the top of the arc of your fenders do you have?

Just in case it will be pouring rain this Saturday, we will keep setting the date for the following Saturday that will have the better weather.

Also, our drive destination, Jenro's Coffee Shop is in Haygood Shopping Plaza, at 1085 N. Independence Blvd., Va Beach. They have a huge parking lot in front where all the car enthusiasts gathers.

Mike,

I have the PSS-9's right now. The ride height is very low but not as low as, say, Kim's YZ. IIRC, the car is as low as you can go with the PSS-9's and the sway bar linkage or some such. I measured the height a year ago but can't recall what it is and am not at the house. I'll try to remember to do it later. Sorry.

Simon, Here's one of the most accurate weather authorities in our area that I use before we launch aircrtafts. I think it's gonna be good. See you there:

It's ok Mark, I saw your car at VIR, although it was sitting on that grassy area which made it look even lower. I want to lower mine a little bit more but afraid of ramp and curbs I'd like to get the RS splitters someday.

Simon, After this one, I would love to do another one on the 1stof May! Let's see if the rest of the guys are interested, we'd go for it. We can even move up a little bit further North, like Williamsburg 'cause there are more of you guys up there(i.e Richmond forlks).
