Coilover Comparison Meetup and Drives?

Was wondering if there's anyone in the SF Bay or Norcal area who would want to meet up to do some back to back comparison drives of different coilovers. I've got the Ohlins R&Ts, and would like to try the Bilstein PSS10s, KW V2 or V3, and anything else. We could include a stock R56 or JCW as a baseline.

Seems like a great idea, maybe you are scaring people away with your Ohlins?

Have fun,
Mike

This should have happened months ago while I was up there and you could have felt the different the Hyperco coilover springs did to my Ohlins.

LOL scaring people off - because they're afraid they'd have to start saving up for a set of Ohlins?

I think most of us on NAM read the reviews and make the best guess that our budget allows, and then have to live with the decision, good or bad. I love my Ohlins but really would like to try some others for comparison.

ra2fanatic let me know next time you're up this way.
