All my suspension is though, and I'm on street tires... not exactly set-up for SM.

Chu, he was actually saying more like $125 ea. Also, you know how hard its gonna be to get registered for an event that they cap to 35cars... You would have to watch the forum all day to even sign up.

Besides if I'm paying that much money, I'd be doing an HPDE!
Well, yea.

BTW, I think you should take off the cams, and dominate Stock class! just sayin'

That could be arranged... I have two sets of CCW's (18x9.5 & 18x10) and would like to get rid of one set.

FYI: Tires are THE most important part of your setup. They will take atleast 10% off your times. So if you were running 33's yesterday, you'd be looking at 30's with a good tire.

Keep in mind however mine have about 7 events on them, so they aren't brand new, but they still have enough life left in them for another season especially if we are only doing 8 events next year.

Fun. I would love to pick up a cheaper rwd car and have a dedicated co-driver to split the cost of tires, alignments ... ect.

PM me what you think is a fair price. I am a bit flakey with big purchases (ask chu) but I'd consider having nice tires for next season. Probably will end up with some Z1's.

I should have had Josh (4 STU) drive my car again. I couldn't tell if it was just the conditions, the suspension changes or silly driving but the car was REALLY loose.

I had the tail out slightly on half of the turns. The car was really finicky in the slalom and any medium throttle changes would bring the back around. My car has never driven that way. Lowering the rear pressures helped greatly, but the tendency was still there

My question is whether this is the faster way and I need to man up? or did I ruin a good thing?

Who's got winter plans for their cars? I have a few things on my to-do list, including the Whiteline RCA, and some other bushings. Winter suspension is going on later this week.

Putting in a perrin swaybar and stout mounts ... that should fix my oversteer problems
