Hey guys, it was nice to get a chance to put a face with a screen name. I wish we'd been in the same run group since I was hoping to get a ride with you both. I guess that will have to wait until next time.

And I really felt bad parking my ugly beater next to those two extremely clean cars. I guess somebody has to bring the property values down in the neighborhood. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Bill, those pictures are incredible, thanks so much for hosting them. I appreciate the great pictures of my car in action, i'm amazed at how much the car dives and rolls. I've never seen action shots quite like this. maybe its my junk shocks? maybe my stock springs and swaybars can't handle the grip of slicks?

power off a corner(part of this may be 500ftlbs)

Here I am on the binders somehow not brake hopping...

My short torque arm must be standing the car up on power and dropping it on brakes, hence the brake hop. I'm adamant about keeping my dual exhaust so the TAs you guys run are not an option for me. I'll lengthen my Jegster TA an keep it a tunnel mount to clear my 3" pipes, that plus Konis are bound to make a difference.

I do have another question, Kevin, is this the fast way around the track? LOL

I think you'd be amazed at what Koni's will do. You can leave the front springs alone since they are probably 750 lb/in. For what you want I'd only change them if you wanted to lower it an inch or so.

I ran koni's with the stock rear springs and it worked. If the budget is tight thats an option, but I think you'd like something stiffer eventually.
