Darren:
Unfortunately, the car does not have the stock suspension. The original owner lowered the car (for looks), and installed crappy struts and cushy springs. The car will bottom out on the track, and it rides like a cadillac low-rider in the current configuration.
I'm getting advice from all directions about this, and it's very hard at this point to decide where I'm going with the driving thing. Who knows, I may do 5 days next year and stay in green forever, and keep the car mostly street oriented.... alternatively, I may get into it more and do 20 days and want Motons next year.... Too hard to predict and I can't justify dropping $10K for Motons (and all the necessary do-dads) right now. I also don't want to be tweaking the car everytime I go out (nitrogen pressure, dual adjustments, etc)... I'd prefer to get something that I can get in and drive and not necessarily have to adjust too much.
The JIC system looks pretty sweet (various spring rates available, 15-way compression adjustable, built in camber-plates/monoballs, and around $2,600), but the warranty is for crap and if you have an issue... you're out 3-4 weeks while the stuff is sent back to Japan for a rebuild. Farnbacher Loles was using them for some time, and for some reason stopped installing them. Not sure why.
With the PSS9s you get a lifetime warranty, you're stuff is back the next day, and you'll likely have someone around with spare parts to get you up and running right quick. Not to mention, that you can pretty much sell the stuff at any time and get 1/2 your money back.
I'd be glad to hear feedback from you guys... hopefully, quickly as I did give Bill the go-ahead on the PSS9s already and they're likely going in before the end of the week.
