Hey Shim, got a Q for you...

ZSP springs or H&R Sport springs with stock non-zsp shocks?

What are your thought?

Eventually will be running on 18x8.5s...

ZSP=0.6" drop and I think the H&R Sport is about 1.6" ... too aggressive for stock shocks?

ZSP drop is weak. Drop it like it's hot. You could always opt to replace the shocks first if you're concerned...or install them both at the same time.

Not to confuse folks but I would like to share news of another HPDE.

AMG Challenge

Experience the power of AMG on some of North America's greatest racetracks at the 2006 AMG Challenge Driving Events. Slip into the cockpits of some of the world's most high-powered street machines. Feel the freedom...far from street signs and speed limits. Learn high performance driving skills from some of today's racing greats, including World Challenge and Le Mans drivers. Experience the latest AMG vehicles, including the entirely new CLS55 AMG, the completely redesigned SLK55 AMG, and the fastest production Mercedes-Benz sedan ever - the E55 AMG.

It will be a full day packed with excitement including:
-On-track driving clinics
-Timed competition on an autocross track
-Performance driving exercises highlighting car positioning, steering method, throttle control, racing line theory and much more
-Open lapping on the main track
-Hot laps with top-name professional drivers

At the conclusion of the event, there will be a celebratory champagne toast including a certificate, trophy and awards presentation. It all adds up to an unforgettable experience that you won’t want to miss.

The event admission fee is $1,195.

Nearest location is Lime Rock, CT July 31 and August 1

P.S. for hardcore professionals, there is an advanced level course (previous experience required)

If you are interested, ask me for the invitation code to be able to register. I'd go but I will be on travel on those dates.

Sup guys! Sorry it took me a while to make it here to the DC Chat Thread. Been getting my ass kicked at work down here in Texas. I'll be there on August 20th @ 7:20AM . That's a crazy time btw. That's when I'm usually rolling into bed. Anyways, I'll make sure I don't stay out too late that Saturday.

Can't wait til them LUX rings comes in!!! Currently gGot a few mods in hand while waiting though. Long told me my OEM spoiler will be in tomorrow and the ACS rep rear roof spoiler from Sean (LUX.SH) will be in hand in a week or two as well. Donny- I see you also will order one ; great choice. And the price really can't be beat!

On another note, let's try to do some more minimeets/get togethers/drinking since it's summer now. We should choose a central location for HH or what not.

I'm with you on that

DC Metro e90posters, please share ideas/events/local happenings etc in this thread As thd13 said, summer is upon us.


Looking forward to that ACS roof spoiler, awesome price, couldn't pass on it eventhough my painfully stock car doesn't really need it at this time And we are all waiting anxiously for our LUX kits...

Sorry about the timeslot for the RIU event...just my experience that it is more enjoyable earlier in the day as most people tend to prefer the later slots esp on a sunday morning, as you can attest!
