It's probably going to be somewhat dependent on your driving style and what you like - maybe even the track you're on too.

I know some guys with Z's that have that spring/shock combo will put the fronts on 1 (the lowest setting) to get more compression.

How do you like that setup? The sportlines with the kyb agx? Is it comfortable for daily driving?

i was told the stiffest setting posible will be good for drift and stuff like that. I got the same setup as you but my shocks havent arrived yet :(

the setup is great!!! I'm very very happy with it.

I just did driver training (about 6hrs on the track) and did a slalom yesterday at the same track.

I ran 2 on the front and 4 on the rear and it worked out very well. I have no complaints!! my toyo t1s tires helped me out too. next time I'll higher pressures as I was runinng 34 psi front and rear. :(

very neutral car with oversteer at the limit I'm very impressed. (this was my first time taking the 240 to the track)

now its time for power !! I got owned by stealth TT , 97 talon awd tsi, WRX, rx7 TT.

just installed an R32 fuel pump 10 minutes ago. getting ready to do an SR swap in the near future so I can keep up with those much quicker cars!

nearly the same. =)

took me about 2 hrs because I took my time and had problems getting the plate off (lots of rust on the bolts ended up using vice grips)

I used the existing wires from the 240. I just used one zip tie to help secure the pump in place, other wise I didn't need any extra parts.

just a bit of bending of the bracket was needed but otherwise fairly straightforward install.

it does whine louder than stock but that was expected :(

do you use msn or icq? I don't use aim

How much did the fuel pump cost? and do you know its flow rating?

I paid 80 US for the pump and picked it up from an r32 owner. he was running 400whp when he took it out.

I don't know the flow rating but I don't plan to run more than 300HP :)

I think I'll ask him the flow rate though

yeah they do. I'm not sure what it is.

do you find your rear steps out more with it at 5?

No, that is for a set of 4 springs, coilover's usallay aren't sleeved cept maybe the Ground controls. Most Coilovers dont need shocks, all Tein coilovers do not need shocks. There S types like the ones I have on the other hand are well just that springs.

Sounds good. I have the SAME setup as you but I am having trouble with the rears (car is on jacks right now) as the KYB strut boots are having trouble, gah! Well good luck with the new setup in the future!
