    There is the thing if you want to move to 200TW wide tires the car will have more grip from tires but with soft springs (I consider 250 lbs really soft) the car will lean more and be more harder to control or borderline dangerous. A lot of people... (see full post)

    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

    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...
  • On the opposite end of the country, but if I ever get back that way I will give you a shout.I put together suspension using FP Track Handling shocks and struts. Found that I also needed new LCA bushings that I replaced with bearings. Then I... (see full post)

    Yes I do run Steeda. I chose these due to the fact that they only have camber adj. and I do my own alignments (Camber and toe). Since you already have a pp1 then I would also recommend the Steeda bump steer correction kit. A must for a dropped... (see full post)

    For those of you that are badmouthing Trent, you should all shut your mouths. He was one of the guys that designed and developed Cortex with Filip. He didn’t move with Cortex because this is his home. Trent will do what you want to your car. He...

    Go with the Steeda. And cortex or MMR end links. Don’t get the Steeda end links. If you go 400F 1100 or 1200 rear your car will feel much better on the road and even better on the track. The car likes that rate for a good balance
