Yeah, with the Eibachs. Wasn't really pissed - it was my best time of the day, but I was hoping to break into the high 38's (it was a 39.2) and close the gap between me and the front-runner. Didn't much matter since the top finisher ended up with a best time in the high 37's...

Well not bad nevertheless.... (I think).
What was your best time during your Maxspeeds era? How'd your Eibachs hold up compared to your old Maxspeed setup.

Gotta Love this Pic. Maxima hanging with the big Big Boyz FTW

Looking good. Our autocross event was rained out. I don't run yet but I go to help a fellow local forum member. Next year I will do some events.

Well, you can't really compare times since the courses are always different. Both springs are very good for autocross. The Maxspeeds are linear so they're good track/autocross springs and are predictable. The Eibachs are also quite predictable, though progressive-rate, and do very well on the course, but have a better/more comfortable ride on the street than the Maxspeeds did.
