The real problem is the season. In short, it's over for us here in Pacific Northwest. I am trying very hard to get a track day scheduled this weekend; I hope it works out.

Some asked why I would not just compare the suspension at the street. I honestly can't measure differences enough at the street, besides perhaps comfort and clearance. I never push the car too much at the streets due to safety concerns. I'm sure some are better than me on that.

Nevertheless, we expect the BC coilovers to perform very close to Z/28 counterparts, if not better at the track. The key here will be tuning them properly. I am hoping we will have plenty of time tuning it at ORP since it's open track format, and is never crowded since it's open to club members only.
