My first thought was, you need to quit smoking.
Looks hard.
Looks like PIC?
What camber corrections (if any) are you using now?
Plan on keeping the blacked out hi beams?
Nice to see her bank on the street
Now, I'm rambling...

Aggresive!
Concrete slab highways are tough on my back, but the worst is the espansion joints at speed on the road
It's super nice once on a smooth road, kinda like stock

Haha. I'm glad I'm not the only one.
That stance looks a thousand times better especialy in that last driveway shot. The ground looks to be uneven yet the caR looks totally balanced and even. If that makes any sense.

makes good sense.
I'll be sure to get better shots after I clean it up a little, 1600 miles added some dirt
I can't belive I waited this long to put a sus in the caR... Duh, it's another animal

I had the same realization at the end of last summer. Even though I was satisfied with stock sus I had found it's limits and needed more to be competitive. I was amazed at how the new sus changed the caR. It almost makes me aprehensive to "push it" on the track this Spring because of it. I'm unsure now where its capabilities are at.

After cruising around Brooklyn, I can deal with the harshness but it's tough.
One of my friends think I'm nuts to have such a hard suspension in the car as a DD, HAHA!!!
I haven't seen that picture in a very long time, would you be able to list each owner to car?

Just was thinking... I deffinately need it to be looser/faster. The rear hardly rotates and the front pushes
I like rotation, even on the streets

An R that doesn't rotate?!
Say it ain't so
Cool pixor ^

Ahhh you know me... I like it extreme.
It does rotate but no where near what I'd like.

A little toe out in the rear will fix you up just fine.
baby steps y0!
maybe a 1/2 step before E8 and after that another 1/2 step.

Baby steps are for babies
But if i'm down there soon, I'll do some testing at CMP/ wtdr event.
I know the car had more rotation with just the 26mm rsb, way more. But the turn in was no where near close to now.
Basically I need to get rid of the front end push and I'll be Very happy.
OT on post, burn!

Yes sir, on the PY and FBP. Love it!!!
Turns, on the knob?
4 in front, 2 in rear.
I agree, they really aren't bad on the street, even on concrete with the joints.
