Well I had the first autocross with the new ride and have to say I'm impressed with the grip on the stock tire and an 8" rim. You can tell from the photos, as I already knew that I need ALLOT more spring. I may end up having something made custom because I doubt there is anything out there that will control this amount of weight.

I'm on the Sportlines and Koni yellows with a VERY agressive alignment. The car handled great but runs out of travel in the front under full load either braking or mid corner. I did not feel any bottoming but if I would have had the bumpstops in I'm sure the push would have been horrible.

Oh yea, 80+ cars 1st in STU, 2nd FTD, and 1st overall pax, in a very competitive group of racers.

Enjoy...

didnt do so well in my first time out with the speed...
placed 3rd in class.. 21st overall out of 70 cars.. but was on street tires and useless lowering springs..
 
Wheels are 18X8 TenzoR's with the stock MS6 215's!

I'm looking forward to the rest of the season and getting it out on the 3 road courses close by.
 
that second pic looks badass. even though it means that your springs aren't stiff enough, it looks cool ;)
