DarrylS76 replied to the thread SR performance coilovers VS Koni sport/Eibach?.Nice man.Maybe I should look into the ground control? I have.\nAn ordered thing yet but I need to like very soon.Because I have a track event coming up that I would love to do i'm basically trying to decide now on Cony's or bill Stein's, and then...

- stevbd replied to the thread S197 BackInBlack.You’re going a little deeper than I am, but the Lashbrook rebuild does use the carbon synchros. And still recommending the oem fill. Lashbrook has been exceptional imo btw. (see full post)
S550AZ replied to the thread SR performance coilovers VS Koni sport/Eibach?.I just ordered the ground control set up with yellow koni's last week, front springs at 380 lbs and rears at 200 lbs. That was recommended by ground control for a streetable set up on my 2011. I am taking off the the ford racing set up. The car... (see full post)
biggsy replied to the thread Your Experience with the 10 sp auto 10R80? Road race or HPDE? Longevity? Yr. Of manufacture?.I think @flyhalf is probably one of the most experienced with the transmission. Even though he moved on to smaller and better things (sequential) lol.May find a lot of what he did in his build thread. (see full post)

ArizonaBOSS replied to the thread Unfair advantage.There are a couple guys that run those out here in AZ, Clay Koevary (yellow #55 "Camaro"), Parker DeLonghe (blue/white #14), and at least one other guy. If you see them at the track, go talk to them about what it takes to keep those cars...

The best way for many is to go to an autocross or track event and study what the super fast drivers are on. Do your due diligence reading...
- TeeLew reacted to blacksheep-1's post in the thread SR performance coilovers VS Koni sport/Eibach? with Like.Yes, the Penskes were the key, not just that but the hours spent on the shock dyno getting them to work, plus the drivers, I've watched AJ make as little as 15 pound spring changes to get the car working.
- TeeLew replied to the thread SR performance coilovers VS Koni sport/Eibach?.I agree with Dave. Almost every GT slick on the planet is for an 18" wheel, so 18's are a no-brainer in my book. My car came with 19's, but for track duty, I'm a fan of an 18" wheel.I like to have some sidewall to work with as a driver. Very... (see full post)

blacksheep-1 reacted to Dave_W's post in the thread SR performance coilovers VS Koni sport/Eibach? with Like.My decision on wheel size is always based on tire availability. Can you get the tires you want in 20" diameter? For many years, 18" had the widest choice of performance tires & used race slicks, but 19" has gained popularity.

blacksheep-1 reacted to TeeLew's post in the thread SR performance coilovers VS Koni sport/Eibach? with Like.Short answer, with an equivalent driver, No, I don't see us giving Vettes or Porsches many sleepless nights.There is a weight thread. Add lightness.

blacksheep-1 reacted to stevbd's post in the thread SR performance coilovers VS Koni sport/Eibach? with Like.@DarrylS76 the one thing the world challenge s197 didn’t have was stock shocks. Just the opposite, very high end Penske I believe. I think @blacksheep-1 is saying the rest of the car wasn’t too exotic, but the dampers were.Anyhow, your easy...
