Yea, I was mostly kidding. You are doing what probably 75-80% of our S197 customers are also doing: street use/daily driving with some HPDE or autocross events thrown at their cars on the weekends. Again, if you care about lap times in any fashion, monotube adjustable coilovers are going to allow for other beneficial mods (aka: spring rates) and themselves help make the car perform better (and almost always ride better).I do have a daily driver. But I refuse to turn my "race car" into something that cannot be driven on the street whenever (and as much as) I want to.
Typical HPDE events we attend, where 90% or more of the cars were driven there
Cheaper twin tubes are still just as much of a wear item, even if people don't know they are blown. These shocks just just limit some things (lowering, damping, spring rates, spring style choices, ride) that hold back performance, so much so that that I don't find them useful in anything I might care about how fast I'm driving: autocross, road course, time trial, beating my best commute time home from work, etc.
