    You are valuing streetability over track that’s going to drive you into very different mods then track over street. So in your case i get it. But obviously will not yield the best performance on track (see full post)

    Seems the gist of this is that magnaride cars can compensate for spring rate by increasing compression. Which allows the car to be comfy on the street as well for dual purpose marketing considerations. Not optimal obviously for best track... (see full post)

    Even if he does the fact is The OEM springs are not good for track. Ask yourself why the DHR cars run at least 700 lbs front springs ? (see full post)

    Doctors and Mechanics often prescribe the treatment which is best for themselves, not their patrons. I'm pretty sure I talked to this guy once. I think they'll make a great couple. Enjoy. (see full post)

    Was his suggestion to not install the AJ Hartman coilover conversion kit up front for now because you have already introduced a lot of variables, or was his suggestion never to install them because in his estimation your current springs are great... (see full post)

    Been keeping a close eye on those. Car has 74k on it and no issue yet. Did install the big bolt kit though many miles and years ago. But, you are right. Probably a good idea. (see full post)

    Don't listen to people that don't drive cars on track. The 400 lbs springs are on the softer side you need more spring in an MagneRide car I have driven a Mach 1 car on the track and it was soft. If you want results on track you need better... (see full post)

    Track day at Blackhawk went well! I set a new PB 1:28.56. My optimal lap was 1:28.28. I took my dad and friend Jon along for a couple rides. The new surface had so much grip. I was getting used to the new brake pads and putting more and more... (see full post)
