He assured me that the Trackline suspension includes the regular H&R sports ("Stage 2"), both front and back, same as you'd buy off the rack from them if you were just to buy the springs. "Stage 3" is the race spring set (which TC believes is too stiff for our cars) and "Stage 4" is the H&R coilover kit. Just a data point. Dave Hogg

I know you're kidding, but don't dog on people because they take safety seriously. I agree that it's highly doubtful that a Driving School participant will put themselves in a situation that would cause a fire, but stuff happens. If that person has the money and is planning to do it a lot, I'm sure their SO and/or family appreciate it. Just ask my wife why I have a roll bar, and I'm a _new_ group 3 student. Anyone who takes safety seriously should be lauded, because they're usually the ones being smart out there and not putting themselves and you in danger. -p

Actually, if anyone at Kumho is listening, I'm hoping they break out the mold for a "true" 245/40-17. I'm sure the Boxster and pony car guys would appreciate it too. -p
