Somebody recommend this to me for rust proofing year round. Smell like crap though. They are called "Fluid Film".
Might be a good idea too to get Thrust sheets by Swift, not that expensive.

no news on the spray lol

but today we set it up for daily driving and spirited driving for a good start .

I have to say this suspension is amazing on street . I did run out of tires very fast with it. But in this video very limited and short though, you can see how composed and precise the car with this suspension. We purposely testing this road. Very bumpy and uneven. with elevations etc. Perfect for a suspension testing IMHO.

You went with the Ohlins 10k/7k or the typical (around here) 10k/10k?

What would you say the basic handling balance of the Ohlins coilovers are relative to stock suspension? When you say you ran out of tire - on one particular end or the confidence is that high ?

i would say you can feel the springs are harder then the stock ones for sure, but takes bumps, and other road problems a lot smoother and easier. Def. better ride then stock.
When you hit a dip / bump the car doesn't go out of balance, stays "flat" and relaxed. Therefor build your confidence very fast and the car never gets nervous. It does warn you though when you are at the limit.

Sum it up. basic handling is a lot better then stock suspension that is not even a question.

When I am saying "I do run out of tires", meaning you can feel for sure, the car actually limited by the tires now, not because of the car attitude.
You do know and feel where the tires doesn't have enough grip , but a car still behave very handy and predictable. If that makes sense. My English is not good, so sorry for that.

I am running on 275's all around , this s the only picture I have where you can see the tire.
