I've talked with my buddy Ryan @ Eibach, and we're set for a meet on the 24th of October (Sunday) at Eibach North America's facility in Corona, CA.

He will get the head of R&D to have some tech sessions with us, as well as answer any technical questions on suspension tuning. We will also be given a tour of their manufacturing floor. In case you wonder.... Eibach NA has the exact same equipment as what they have in Germany to produce springs...

There will be a BBQ, as well as free giveaways from Eibach and possibily a few other companies.

Now, I need some feedback...

Two basic questions:

- What type of seminar do you want to see? Specifically, what type of topics do you want to have reviewed at such a seminar? Keep in mind that the more topics you want to have covered, the longer the session will be and it takes away from other activities planned.
- What kind of food @ the BBQ? hahahahahaha. No flank steaks please.

Obviously this will not be limited to just 240SXes, so keep that in mind.

yah! i once had an interview there.. really nice facility. I cant think of any ideas for seminar, maybe some issues discussing the importance of matching the right shocks to springs yadda yadda, corner wieghting, sway bar info, just general things to get the most out of your suspension.

damn that sounds like a great idea. as far as bbq goes...burgers, links, potato salad, and bbqbaked beans are all that is needed :o

haha alex this is a fall version of the summer honda-tech eibach meet www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=900523 good turn out. the tech guys i spoke to sed that more than likely a 240 mite need a 10kg front 12kg rear setup to make it ideal for road racing along with a 1.5way lsd and replacement bushings to really fine tune the car for my driving style. ill support it definately alex if it happens

Cool.. a SoCal240SX.org/Eibach open house meet.. sweet..

General suspension tuning for drift and grip would be awesome topics to cover. Things to do to reduce understeer and such..

BBQ sounds great, hot dogs, burgers, soda and chips.. Maybe salmon steak and escargo?

How about hot links with soda and keep them coming! I'm definately down to go, I'd be more interested in tuning for a neutral roadrace setup as well as how sway bars, adj shocks and spring rates all tie together.

I'd like to see Eibach offer use of a shock dyno if they have one available.
