After asking around and talking to Ken at 2Bennett, we
decided on 315's all the way around for a firm
streetable Colorado car.  He said they will probably
be slightly softer than the progressive Eibach pro-kit
I have on right now because my springs are compressed
so much. I should have them and the Koni's in after
this weekend.  I'll definatly post the results.

I'm running a Blau 272 right now with Autotech Sport
valve springs.  It made a world of difference on my
high end, like real power all the way to 7k
difference.  My car's turbo but I bet you would still
see a difference.

I like the Marvel Mystery oil, or a engine flush
product.
