Default Need a test subject for some competition springs

I've just got in a couple sets of kg/mm's DR Racing competition lowering springs, and I'd like to hook someone up with a set that will be able to use them in a "spirited" application, whether you will autox or road race your car, or even if you just drive around the streets in a "spirited" manner. All I ask is that you please take pics of your car before and after the springs, and provide the readers of scionlife.com with a brief analysis of how you feel the springs perform. I'm selling the springs on ebay here:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2470632252
but if someone is willing to do what I asked for above, I can work out a deal with you on a set. This offer is only good on one set though, so please email me at: van@onetongarage.com if you are interested.

Oh yah, I've already installed a set on my sister's xA, so I'll try and give some feedback on how those work out on there soon.

Besides, I just got my new wheels in for autox, you got good timing

Might I recommend a fellow mechanic down the road in milpitas that has been modding the opr8r with you as well. Awww,forget the bull. Pick me van, we can use the scion central to install everything and go to a track after. Or I could just go driving around for a bit. :D
