    Thanks. I think that’s the Garmin Catalyst smoothing it out! (see full post)

    I hear ya. I want to add aero to my car but I need coilovers first but I'm also thinking that $3-4k for coilovers would be better spent on actual racing school. Driver mod > suspension

    Honestly, I think we are just messing around on these aftermarket springs until we go to coilovers. I haven’t made the jump yet, since I’m still undecided if the car is going to continue its development versus buying an actual built track/race car. (see full post)

    Here’s a couple of laps at ECR last month. Both in the 2.06 range. Hitting traffic and cold/green track, so should easy knock some time off that. I’ll be back there 2-3 March with CHIN to see what I can do. (see full post)

    I go with the paint marker pen on the tires method. I’m running various sets of @Apex Wheels and tires, so I’ve been swapping them around like crazy. Trying out Pirelli DHF, Michelin SM8/9. Then I’ve got a wet set of Michelins, and finally a set... (see full post)

    Getting the OP Mustang hubs/studs is a convenient and smart way to go in my estimation. The ability to rotate all around is so much more efficient for tire life, just remember to do it often --- at least once per track day. Little secret is to do...

    I loved the Magnaride with the stock springs and I would probably not make any more changes after Mr. Johnson's tune........but then I drive over every curb imaginable and I thought the factory recovery with a HP Mach 1 was great.

    Also the splitter is still not as low as I need it, so no, it hasn’t taken a beating. Plus @flyhalf sent me some awesome splitter protection widgets, which I’m using on the front corners. (see full post)

    Hey, yeah they are still a little soft. Front on corner turn in is a little vague, but that could be something some sway bar adjustment might help. Running medium setting front and rear on the BMR bars.Rear spring feel isn’t so bad though... (see full post)
