Time for a strut replacement - I have a DIY to follow, but looking for extra tips...

I just got an email from ECS that my shocks had shipped. Guess I'll be using Bilsteins after all.

It will be interesting to see what each of our impressions of our shock choices are. Your car has 123K on it, mine has 144K. I'm sure we'll both see dramatic improvements since our original shocks have probably been shot for 40K - 60K miles.

I know what you mean. I am going to Road Atlanta March 12/13, then Sebring April 2, then Roebling Road April 30-May1. I am trying to figure how I can squeeze the install in between there somehow. Maybe after Sebring and before Roebling. I would hate to miss one due to the car being up on jack stands with a pending suspension installation... But I really want to see what the new struts feel like.

Oddly, none of these are PCA, which I who I usually run with.

Road Atlanta is with NASA-SE, the had some specials going on and a coupon for people new to NASA. They are still running a $100 off, I will.post it up. Edit for anyone finding this thread now that I have finished these events: this weekend was choked with cars, there was racing, time trials, DE, and all sorts of stuff going on. I don't think I got a full 20 minute sessions any of the first 7 sessions, then I left early on Sunday. Anytime there was a racing incident or something else, they took time away from the HPDE groups, at least my groups, which was HPDE1 since I have never run with NASA before. Here are the amount of laps I got in my sessions: 6, 5, 5, 5, app failed to record 2 sessions, and 5. Compare with MVP track time (6 sessions per day) 10, 10, 9, 12 (25 minute session), etc...

Sebring with Chin. Last time went with PBOC and it was choked with cars, I barely got any clean laps. Chin is a little more, but less cars and more track.time. Edit: it was awesome! It was *not* choked with cars. I will probably stick with Chin for running at Sebring from now on.

Roebling is with Just Track It. More track time, less groups and longer sessions. Edit: Lots and lots and lots of cars. Lots of run sessions, a warm up at the beginning and open track at the end, but looooots of cars...

I've never run with these groups before so we'll see how it goes.

I love running with PCA, but this spring they all fell.on birthdays, valentine day, and a work trip I had In January. So I had to get my fix
