Farkie and I did a couple different spring combos with his spreadsheet. I think I have a path forward so my car will ride more like his does. Hopefully will get the parts ordered and the process started soon!

Thanks for coming out all! Here's some of the footage and interviews from today. Hope we can get another one together for other folks in the future.

As bad as I wanted coilovers id be honestly happy with your shock/spring combo. The perfect pairing.

Feel free to shoot me questions on the FCM process or if you need help doing some of the spring rate/weight/ride frequency calculations when you're ready to plan your build.

Also romemedrano, Shaikh can make a coilover setup for you (doesn't have to be OE style springs and struts) if you use a Bilstein B14/B16 or H&R Street Performance coilover set as donors instead of Bilstein B6/8 like I did. Excellent excuse to grab a cheaper used set for sale on the forums (like this one). andino will be doing that with his current B14 set and getting new springs.

Unfortunately, not at this time. Maybe after I finish some other mods, lol.
