Default I think I'm done

Bit the bullet on complete track suspension set-up. All mono ball, custom Bilsteins, sway bar drop links, 650/750lb springs. Re-corner balanced , you name it. Ouch! I'm done!
Suprisingly not all that bad on the street(just watch the pot holes )
Anyone else have their cars recently "completed"?
Now to get back on the track and learn to really drive this puppie

New bilstein, adjustable sway bars, strut bar and wheel alignment for track purpose. Had to learn to drive that "new" car!
Finally I was sometimes 30kph faster in some curves with the same tyres!!!
And I think I have not finished my "learning session"

Bill,

Sounds like the setup I have, although I went a little lighter, 600 ft lb, springs in front, and also have the Cup forks in between the steering rack and tie rods. The digressive revalved Bilsteins make the combo, as you've found, surprisingly driveable on the street. On the track you'll find turn-in significantly enhanced with the monoballs, and overall handling much improved. Enjoy!

Thanks Bill, Dan J said I pop a big B@@Ner after my 1st turn at speed
Can you further explain the " cup forks" for me? I don't see any mention in my billing refering to "forks".
Regards
Bill
