Isn't that what David (Skimonkey) had his eyes on? I
m not sure if they were the 3 ways, but I think he said he found a hookup for a set of used Ohlins.

I found the hookup on a set but not the 7k ones the ones I found were the Road and Track Tarmac coilovers....I talked the person down to 1700 but couldnt find a buyer for my ledas so I let em go, dont know if she still has them

Nate told me about the Ohlins! Even those cheapo teins are more than I really want to spend right now. You know why they paint them green?

For questions like this, I like to consult the rice color wheel. As you can clearly see, green paint offers tighter, more racelike suspension.

Hahaha! Still a classic...

I don;t know how I missed this quote before (but I like it..)

Autocross is racing, but racing Taliban-style, with 1000's of rules of what you can do or not do.

Honestly, I consider myself to fall in between Autocrosser and time trialer...
