What have you done to your MSP today?

Ok, so opinions here. I've decided I'm going to save up the cash to get a set of coilovers. Thinking either BC or yellowspeeds.

Now, what I'm stuck on is what custom spring rate to go with for what this car will be for. After the first of the year when we pick up a new MS3 the MSP will be project/autox car status so I want something that will be great on the autoX but not break my spine if we decide to drive the MSP to work every once in a while.

Thoughts???? Should I go stiffer in the rear to get the rear to rotate better? what rates do you suggest??

why don't you look into fortunes? i know joe got a set with higher spring rates and he seemed to like them.

because instead of 8-900 I'm looking at $1200 and I doubt the difference is that substantial that I'd notice, but I'd notice spending an extra $300 lol

ahh i thought bc's were right at 1k ?

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

depends on who you get them from I guess.

now, to the question at hand

ordered an AEM digital boost gauge. Next is an AEM oil pressure gauge, then a new dg lip and some bracing for the car. In between there, a secret mission will take place.

600's will kill your spin especially on Ohio roads and that is what I have on the front and the rear. I would say anything in the 300's would be a good choice for autoX and street driving.

Looked up my production number for the MSP for the first time ever after owning the car for 5 years One list says 1324 and the other says 1326 I don't know which number is right though?

MSP down

not sure the extent of the damage but lost the drain plug some how while driving. Too many other things going on so the car is just going to have to sit for a while.

^That sucks. Hope the motor isn't toast.

I hope not either but for all I know I could have a hole in the block also, just haven't had a chance to look. My last oil change was in July so it's not like I just did it and didn't tighten it.
