OMG, I was drooling over the picture at the top. Too good to be true, however I'm sure the R&T solution will also be quite nice.

I have also been considering the 997 Turbo but I feel like I haven't enjoyed the F enough to be tired of it, 2 years of ownership isn't long at all.....at times I wish the F was manual.....my Integra just temporarily cures my desire to row through gears using a clutch

A 997 Turbo or a 997 GT3 both would be very acceptable upgrades to the F. If you guys (Darbs, Tommy, VJ, etc) are seriously shopping, I am envious! Definitely don't spend money on Ohlins if you're going to go the P car route.

I have only considered it Kevin, not really shopping.....after driving the twisties with some MR2's yesterday I realized how capable the ISF really is. In stock form, the ISF still surprises me sometimes. If I get tired of the power I plan to mod, but if it ever gets to the same level as Darbs, where power mods aren't enough, then it will be time to upgrade. It also doesn't make economical sense for me to spend upwards of $75k on a car at this time in my life, also considering 2 years of ownership is nothing!

The build to order sets are Japan only. Ohlins USA cannot get access to them. I am still waiting for the revalved shocks to return for final testing. I wish it was moving faster, believe me.
