Just because I want to try something else. The valving on them is very nice. I would tweak them a little here or there but I'm not sure if the actual construction/design allows what I want.

Well, it looks like there will definitely be some cars/drivers to follow in the development of STR, although IMO, people are starting with the wrong cars
If I get back to the US next year, I think I'll buy a set of wheels to play in STR, but will limit any mods to those that are BS friendly or easily removable/undoable. Unless someone needs a co-driver to share expenses

What? No more Bilstein love?
The biggest problem with all this is finding someone willing to do the valving the way I want to. Not the way THEY want to...doesn't really matter what the brand of shock is - finding a builder for them is the hard part.
Greddy Ti-C single went on yesterday - my goodness what a great sound. I wouldn't mind driving it 6+ hrs without the silencer. With it in - I bet you can't even tell there is an exhaust on the car.

After installing two sets of Koni Yellows I really can't stand them, I honestly don't see why anyone would spend the money on yellows and waste an entire day installing them (4-6hours cutting and drilling), plus coilovers feel much better to me and usually have more adjustability without springs rattling around (Ground Control).
Our STU classes were never all that competitive from what I can remember, STS reigned supreme with STX trailing behind closely. Can't say much for PAX, I was always concerned with RAW time
IMO PAX was never that well setup for cars on street tires.

IMO PAX was never that well setup for cars on street tires.I never cut or drilled anything and I can have the complete suspension off the car in less than an hour. Spring swaps take 1.5hrs and nothing rattles around.
The valving on the revalved Yellows is nearly spot on and you can run up to 1000lb springs and the car is still extremely streetable. In fact - I took my car for a couple hour trip yesterday.

I kind of got a deal I couldn't pass up. I really wanted to do the Bilstein thing though. I think you can get 99% of the shock for a 3rd of the price.

Once the initial instalation is done then the Yellows take the same time as any other.
