Very nice. That sounds exactly like what I'm going for, so I'm sure it'll be enjoyable! The car is a daily and always will be so I have to keep telling myself that as I purchase parts.
I got some work done today!
SSSquid Chip
-Stage 2 (Bimmerheads Cam coming shortly)
-93 Octane
-17lb Injectors (M50)
I can't give enough thanks to Jesse (SSSquid). Great guy, super easy to work with, with an incredible product to boot. The startup/first drive was on 87 octane, as that's what I had in my tank at the time, and even with the 87 in there the chip made the car feel so much more responsive and run far smoother than it ever did. I have high hopes for when the cam comes in.

I'm reconsidering the lowering in exchange for a lift kit and steel bumpers.
Why, you may ask?

Luckily, no structural damage!
Also, new turbo for racecar!

Yep, running the Koni single adjustables in the rear with new upper mounts! I've had the rear coils on for a little while now, and even with just that it helped the car out a great deal. The valving seems to be on point with the 650lbers, as it's not too bouncy, or overly stiff either. Ride is very nice, surprisingly. Thankfully they're not like the 12k/10k valved Ohlins I have on the Evo.
That's rough. Did they valve them properly for the springs you're running when you sent them in to be shortened (assuming no per your response)?
The best I found was $207ea (race fronts, P/N 8610-1436race) with free shipping on Amazon, found here:

They were cheap on eBay a few days ago, and then Summit jacked up the price by $100, so that's no longer a viable option.
I have to drop a bunch of stuff off at JMFab tomorrow, so I'll finally be able to get the ball rolling on the strut housings.
