He was just checking his O2 sensor

If anybody didn't see this -> RWD on Pikes peak................crazy

Another reason is that weight transfer/roll is more dramatic making it easier to feel which tires you are weighting. This improves the learning process imo. The down side is that it will be much more challenging.

My car has only springs, and it really rewards smooth and purposeful weight transfer, the 1% of track time I manage to do so :P

Pretty much

I would just go with what is more fun to drive. Do you like the car better with the coilovers? if so than keep them.

A modified car is not going to prevent you from learning. There are just some benefits of staying stock.

I can't really push my car with the coilovers at all anyways. Itll just rub everywhere so I take turns pretty softly. Currently, my driver side front fender liner has a huge gaping hole in it T__T

Rhys' red bull whip is effing insane. I highly doubt that they pull a profit in the end.

If I'm going to raise them, I might as well run the bilstein + swift combo again. Only got the coils for the lower ride height. I definitely need to raise em if i plan to run
