coilovers + Los Angeles/Orange County/San Diego local 1m's? weekend meetup/coffee?

any local LA/OC/SD 1m'ers running aftermarket coilovers in their cars? i'm looking to get a dual duty setup and was curious if anyone local had one in theirs and would be open to meeting up and doing some ridealongs(?), curious as to how harsh track setups like the jrz's/clubsports/and up can be and how great compromises like ohlin's r&t/v3's/pss10's/etc could be

Hi i have recently installed the bilstein clubsport coilivers on my car which come with the solid top mounts. No banging or crashing. Extremely compliant ride quality on our crappy uk roads and yet they feel perfect on track as well. I am also running R888s which improve the ride quality over a trypical low profile road tyre.

hey godzilla, thats awesome that you got the bilstein clubsports, they are definitely one of the ones i'm considering, i know ohlins r&t and kw's are the typical setups and honestly wasn't expecting any feed back on the bilsteins, thank you for your post, what other coilovers were you considering when you went with your clubsports?

Hi my second choice was the ohlins but i was advised that they would need rebuilding and would suffer from more fatigue over time on a road car especially with our poor roads and poor weather here in the uk

that would be important, i've heard good things about bilstein kits working very oem from my local indy, did you ever consider the pss10's?
