The way out is through

The car is more like a track car that sees some street. I built it up for SCCA time trials. Here's some in-car:

The suspension is the Tein Super Race... it's their double adjustable motorsports version. Some of the versions of these coilovers use the remote reservoirs, but not the STi version I've got. I've run softer setups (spring rate wise) on the car that felt harsher than the SuperRace's, so I'm guessing the valving isn't as aggressive as something like the crappy JIC FLTA2's I've had. But I also know the car really seems to "leap" over T1 at RFR (the car gets very light after hitting the crest of the 1st turn into the esses) so I'm probably running way too much slow-bump rate... which I'm not sure is the valving, or just what I've got it set to. Either way, that could certainly be blowing seals... the Japanese seem to build their coilovers for glass smooth tracks.
