That is exactly what I said, anyone with an mk2 who does not need to keep stock springs for race-classification reasons should get stiffer, shorter springs. If I had a race-only gstock supra, you better believe my daily would have a set of ST springs on it, but alas, I'm a 1-supra-guy... You can, though, do any sort of shock/strut combination you want. Adjustables would be keen, but at 2x the price of HP's, sometimes they arent the greatest solution for those of us who are monetarially challenged.
On another note, alot of regions now have the STS, and STX classes, which is a street-tire (noone out there on a fresh set of hoosiers every event cause they have too much god-damned money) 140+tw rated only. Other mods include:
-Removal of AC system
-Any padded-reclining front seats
-Alternate steering wheels
-Wheels up to 7.5" wide (doesn't really help us)
-Tires up to 225 width (again, doesn't give us advantage)
-Strut bars of any sort
-Any suspension (coilovers) in stock mounting locations.
-Camber adjustments
-F&R Swaybars
-Can get wheenie 2# motorcycle battery, or relocate (but not in pass compartment, sorry hatchback's)
-Intake
-Headers
This is pretty good, as I only run about 2-3sec behind the fastest guys in this class on average. I personally think I can lay waste to them all if I had every allowable modification. Anyone else want to write Falken with me and request a 225-50-14 Azenis?
