Same one I have used all along. Forget the name of it, but it should be good for a year/10,000 miles.

Thinking of ordering some Truhart shocks/struts since I am going to be tearing the suspension apart to find out what is causing the popping sound and will need an alignment afterwards. I cannot get over the cost. They even have a lifetime warranty.

According to their website, yes, but I will be sticking with my H&R springs.

Are you going to go on some drives with us down the Dragon this year? Instead of doing the "tourist" thing?

I did a couple of drives a day on The Dragon last year. We just skipped out on some of the other drives.
Definitely plan on doing more group drives this year though.

And now I am thinking of biting the bullet and going with the Koni's. Damn indecisiveness.

I would try the truharts in the front but put some Konis in the rear. They just bolt in and the rears are pretty dang cheap. Plus with the adjustable damping on the Koni you can turn them up a bit and get some better rotation. Stiff in the rear, soft in the front. Helps fight the understeer. On some of the tighter Dragon curves you can definitely get the rear to skitter a little and come around pretty quick.
You seriously won't notice any of those "handling" changes until you are at the limits. I never felt any of the stuff they talk about until we were on the skyway doing 80. Liftoff oversteer is scary as F on the side of a cliff.
A bit of understeer isn't bad if it happens "on throttle" cause you can just back off slightly until you regain grip.
Go hit some auto-x events too! They should be getting underway shortly. Check the local SCCA pages and see if they don't have a beginner session/school event.

Labor and toolkit for the Konis too..... I like mine a lot. I wish it had been cheaper though! I honestly think the HFP kit is one of the best setups Ive driven on. My wifes car is very comfortable still but it sticks pretty well.

Even with the fabrication and necessary tools included?
I would also choose the truhart front and koni yellow rears as well.

All I need is a bigger pipe cutter...which will come in handy for when I remodel our laundry room.
