I think the money would be better spent on KW V3, custom Koni setup or used TA.

Common 2.5" coilover springs = 63.5 mm and would work fine.
Oops, you're right. Somehow I got the idea in my head that 2.5" was slightly bigger than 65mm as opposed to the other way around.

The lesson I took away from this exercise was that, while fancy shocks help, they're not a magic speed secret. I'd buy the best shocks that fit your budget, then stop worrying about what could have been shock-wise and just focus on driving the wheels off of the car.
Ding Ding!!!! This says it all. Focus on the nut behind the wheel.

The problem with that nut is that no matter how hard I try I can't find the right wrench to fit it?

So that's why I'm buying penskes
