[quote:3c9368bebc]..One a few more questions,
Do you or have you tracked the car on a road course?
[/quote:3c9368bebc]

You're not "starting any fires" by sharing your opinion, I'm glad to have your input. In answer to your first question yes I have tracked the car, in both Autocross events and Solo I as part of a SCCA hosted two day combination PDS/Solo I event at the Bragg/Smith road course here in Nevada.

As far as the Ground-Control coilovers being "inferior" I don't agree with you there, GC uses Eibach springs which are some of the finest available. Their coilover kit for the Type R does ride pretty rough though for 380 lb. front / 250 lb. rear.

I have driven two other Type Rs, both with the stock suspension. Unfortunately this was daily driver activity only, with no track testing. I agree 100% that the stock suspension is tough to beat. There are however a number of products out there that are a significant improvement over stock for specific applications. The key is to choose your aftermarket products wisely, especially for the Type R ! 8)
