Seat time, corner balance, alignment and sticky rubber are good mods. In fact, the right rubber alone can get you a few seconds on the track over say street tires. Not sure you get that benefit (3 secs) from suspension? But you may, others might know that better? I'm pretty sure I can go faster if I get bigger/wider wheels & tires, that's the next mod.
Without hijacking, hopefully adding to the "performance mod" theme. Pick a track, the west coast example would be Willow Springs. Would anyone hazard a guess, using the same brand and compound tires, what would be an expected time improvement, going from say a stock 17" 225/255 (I know, 205 is stock) tire combo to say an 18" 245/285 combo? Or is this too hard to know?
Cheers,
Dylan.

Racer
Well I am not even completely done (need to reset ride height and corner balance), but I can without question say that the PSS-9 with my stock M030 bars was worth every penny. I put in Racer's Group monoballs for the rear mounts too and am very pleased with them -- no harshness or noise that I can notice.
I also bought a set of 5 spoke 996 wheels with Asymetricos on them (PSS-9 and wheel combo from Gert -- THANKS!) and the total was under (barely with duty, etc...) $5000. I am extatic with the all of the above
Can't wait for my next DE (it will be my 4th) and wanted this suspension done before then.
My next mod's are the HID lighting upgrade (I am #12 on the list). From there (next year -- maybe less) will be Steve W's chip and a lightweight clutch/flywheel. Also some racing seats and harness.
