<edited date...>

Alices would always work - in the heart of the Santa Cruz mountains with access to all the local twisties.

Alternatively, we could meet further up the Peninsula (HW 92 & Skyline), then head south.

Chime in with interest or suggestions! =)

Default for the twist'es, can I bring my Miata instead :)

It'll blow the doors off of my AR.

Default didn't like the harshness & lack of travel at level 1. also, ...

had difficulty balancing the levels at all 4 corners. the passenger side rear would always be about 10 mm higher than the other 3 corners, even after countless attempts. returning to stock solved the problem. lastly, i really couldn't feel that much improvement in handling with the 402 mod --- on the other hand I really haven't pushed my AR that hard, except for one outing to the bay area AR meet a few months ago, where I went into a 4 wheel drift around a twistie with 5 series BMW on my tail.

Default Thanks, good feed back! ...

How do you like the PSK and your A/S's.
Since you have done most of the mods I am considering!
Thanks

Default PSK is probably my best mod to date, ...

more neutral handling (subtle). Definitely go for the PSK. Jury is still out on the A/S's, because I haven't had the time to push them to the limit yet. I had OEM Goodyears, but the previous owner of the car ran them under-inflated and significantly wore out the edges, so I really can't give an honest comparison between the two. But not as sticky as my Yokohama AVS intermediates on my Miata.

Default how about if I wear an audi cap? ...

Okay, I'll bring the AR if it rains, but going topless if it's sunny.
