Neema was that your first track day with new suspension? If so how was it? Did you do the whole Cortex package or just the dampers?

err, it was just the front struts only. The KW Clubsports were in the rear. Polar Vortex part deux put a hold on the rears being shipped out from JRi, but the fronts were already on my car, so I ran a half and half setup. No alignment, no corner balancing, nada. All I did was set the ride height in the front. The car felt fine, but I was too preoccupied with learning the track to notice a hitch. I have the Watts link too, so it's almost a whole package, but I'm not really compelled to go with the torque arm anytime soon. The new BMR spherical UCA may be the last piece to the puzzle.

Some pics from a track day at the Oklahoma County Sheriff's Training Facility. It's kind of a cross between an auto-x course and a road course.

Did you do the JRi's up front too? I spent a lot of time talking to them at SEMA and I suspect they are a very nice package for their price range.

I did. It was a stretch (I like cheap parts). I'll let you know if I have buyer's remorse. The Koni double adjustables would have been fine, except the rears require removal for adjustment, which would render them non-adjustables with my level of laziness.

Re: Pics of your Boss or Mustang at the track!!!

From Friday's track day at the Las Vegas 50th Birthday celebration. I have several photos of BMO members my son took but I won't get to those until later. There were about a dozen Bosses participating that day. The track was fun and had a nice flow to it but didn't quite measure up to the usual NorCal tracks. There was about two feet of elevation change and makes Chuckwalla feel like Laguna Seca in comparison. :p

Heading back in from the lunchtime parade lap with my son.

Packing up for the day with Moto's and SoCalBoss's Bosses.

At speed on the "wet" line through turn 1. There was a lake coming off the tri oval and into the infield. Loved every minute of it.
