Looking to test suspention set ups
It seems that in trying to get advice on suspention set ups in these forums is like talking politics with a bunch of board lawyers. No one agrees and everyon has conflictiong information. I was wondering if there was anyone one out there in or close to Salem Oregon with an aftermarket suspention that would be willing to take me for a ride so I can get the feel of these difforent set ups. There's the posibility of a beer in it you ya, if you're old enough.

nobody that I know of is too close to salem... and not too many in Portland have modded suspension (past basic lowering springs). Post in the Portland forum up at the top of the main PacNW page though, and you may get a response or 2

Actulay i don't drink, but for some reason beer always seems to be a deal maker. Also I say I wanted to ride in the car, not drive it. Unfortunatly like I said, no one can seem to give me any understandable info on suspention setups, so i figure if I can get the chance to ride in a few difforent cars with difforent set ups I might be able to desern whearther or not I would like the ride with those particular parts. I do think I have desided on Koni adjustibles for the shocks, now I'm trying to decide between Eibachs, or H&R's. I belive both are progressive springs, I had H&R's on my miata, but have had no experience with Eibach.

For the most part. I love twisty roads, so I'm looking for a set up that will acomidate that. I'm not realy looking to lower the car that much, less than an inch would be great.
