Especially Herr Bilstein -- I've had good luck with his wares.
Particularly interested in travel of the 1G Specials (it would appear that some travel is sacrificed and the shell shortened to allow the threaded boss to be added to the bottom) as compared with stock travel. I'm a big fan of suspension travel.

Unsprung weight -- your machinist couldn't fab up a couple of aluminum spacers rather than those Home Depot nipples? Unsprung weight matters.
Evidently matters a lot to you too, based on your investment of time and money in your suspension setup.
Sprung weight. I thought the white car was competition only these days. You certain you need those speakers on the rear deck or is that a race trick to change weight bias while observing the spirit (yeah, right) of the rules?
Great write-up and immaculate workmanship, as always, Gav.
