Wow! Rare they are.
My car is doing well. I went to a Hotchkis sponsored race in CA in October. There's still some tuning to do, especially in the rear sway bar and spring rate. It's a bit of a game right now balancing between under and over steer but I should have it worked out within a couple more races. I'm also limited on traction, I really need a good set of 200 tread wear track tires. Been looking at the Falken R615s. Everyone's telling me I'll pick up 2-3 seconds just by bolting them on, and that would've put me in the top 10 at the Hotchkis event. $300 each + another set of wheels is a spendy pill to swallow so we'll see how much $ my younger kids can earn me selling lemonade this coming year, lol!
We put all my old suspension on Roman's car, except for the 3" drop rear CPP springs, we used a set of 2" Eibach rear springs I got from a friend instead. His car has a great stance! Mine is flat front to back, while his with the slightly smaller front tire has about a 1" rake. We both like each other's stance better, lol! I plan on swapping my 200 # rear springs to 300 # before the first race in March and I'll probably raise mine up about 3/4" when I do that. More than likely we'll end up putting the 3" CPP springs in his car to level it out. He's searching and saving for an LS/ T56 to swap in and he has his eye on some black 18" XXR 521s for his car- http://www.xxrwheels.com/xxr_521.shtml
Sorry to hijack a little talking about my car. Even though I built my car to be a little obnoxious, I sure like the subtle look of yours. Keep up the good work!
