[QUOTE="Sirl, post: 14937934, member: 61178"] My car was a 2000 GT, so, no IRS for me. However, I ran Koni Yellows which are SA or Single Adjustable dampers with the HR Super Race Springs. I did eventually go to coil overs BUT, I was VERY happy with the Koni/H&R set up for a long time. The car was 100% street driven, still able to take the wife out for drives, and not feel like it was to stiff. I would go that route for now. The adjustment on the shocks makes a noticeable difference. Secondly, all the parts you mentioned in the last paragraph are a MUST. Find a set of 95 Cobra R style wheels with a good set of 200 Treadwear tires, NT05, RA1, there are lots to choose from, and you can drive to and from the track while still having a good time on the track (and on the street) Seat is a must! You are probably fighting with every turn to stay in the seat. A good seat takes all that extra work out of it, so you can focus on your apex's rather than working out your fore arms. SS Brake lines are a must as well, just for a safety standpoint. Also, find a good set of Y2K Cobra R Brakes and good pads, I have always used Hawk DTC 70's and the 60's in the rear. I swapped brake pads the week prior to an event and never had any issues with driving the race pads on the street. They worked 100% fine, other than some noise and lots of brake dust. Another tip... you MUST clean that brake dust off asap. It is corrosive to the wheels and, if they get wet, and the brake dust sits on the, it will ruin the wheels. All the above will make your track day a MUCH more fun experience. And lastly, the above comments are just one mans experiences/suggestions. You may get several other, varying opinions. [/QUOTE]
