I think I am regretting my spring selection

I was at Buttonwillow when one of the club wouldn't let me go to Sonoma due to me being new to that track (I was fine when i went a month later). Buttonwillow is nice, but it doesn't have the "it" factor and it honestly cost me just as much as Sonoma and Laguna once you factor in travel. Also with a baby, dogs and wife at home, I am probably only going to do Sonoma and Laguna only. It's not worth the extra 5 hours I have to drive.

I did put on the rear coilover, took me forever as I wanted to do it right. Setting the height and preload properly took forever. I did take it for a quick spin after. On flat surface, car seems to behave fine. On bumpy road, you can really feel the stiff springs in the back. I hope the fronts are easier to do, I am this close from just calling the shop to have them to do it. Arggg.
