Smile Who takes his/her IS to the track?

Just wondering if anyone take their IS to the track? if yes, how was it?
250? 350?

I went to buttonwillow last saturday with my frds, i didnt take my IS, i just went along to sit in my frd's s2000 lol. it was still pretty fun tho, looking at other ppl's cars and stuff. maybe ill post some pics later if i can figure it out lol


oh another question, for those who do take their IS to the track, what coilovers are you guys using? since damper can be adjusted anyway im interested in which set has the highest spring rate. im considering teinSS (on the cheaper side, but still wanna read more reviews), or JIC (which is kinda expensive T_T)

no suspension changes are needed to run with any of the same dogs. Improve your driving skills before you try improving your car.

Depending on day and track conditions i mess with my air pressure a bit.

If you want the stiffest spring rates.

I suggest you get some custom springs made for your coils.
