Yes my comment was certainly generic. I know you (and some of us) certainly have oru setups about as modified as they can or should be for a street based car (we have the same mods) so I can understand your particular focus of keeping it light. But as before, I just wanted to stress to the casual observer, that attention to the chassis setup is MUCH more important when startin gout, than keeping it light on it's feet.

Oh another note, went to a local shop and saw a Koni yellow piston vs. a Stance coilover piston. The stance piston was laughable. So was their adjuster mechanism.
I just got in a discussion today with an s2000 buddy of mine who swears up and down his JDM type coilovers are the best option. He didn't really grasp how my car has 'home made coilovers' yet handles so well. Oh the power of print (well the media)!
