PCD: Last year's version
What's the motion ratio on the bimmer? Sounds kinda high for street tires and a car lighter than my evo. Did you get a damper rebuild to go with? Gots to keep that critical damping in check, yo!

when is the next karting domination? A couple buddies were asking if I knew anything about "that karting place in Lehigh Valley" 
I told them a group of guys go on a regular basis and they're welcome to join... They think they're gonna jump in the karts and dominate. I just SMH and laughed.

Aaron, I have no idea. that math is over my head. I'm just now starting to get a _very basic_ understanding of how springs & sways work with regard to the suspension. Up to this point its all been me asking people for help based on what my car does and/or copying other peoples setups that are faster than me. I know these rates are very high, especially for street tires, but there are two things I have going right now; one is that I was given the suspension for free and the second is that I will be running NT01's next year.
Its a simple spring and strut setup put together by Turner Motorsports. I can only assume the shocks were valved for the spring rates. Springs are cheap and easy to replace, so if these are too high I'll get another lower set and swap them out.
Too bad you & Mike can't make the doah. You'd love it. 2.2 miles and 20 some turns with almost every type of turn (on camber, off camber, double apex, blind, increasing/decreasing radius) Its an autoxers dream track, lol.

That's the way my Instructor at the Glen taught me. He should know, he drives a blue bullet in the shape of a Lotus Exige S. I gotta load up my instructor ride-along video to see what his times were.
