New mods - crappy picture
Hi all -
Just made some modifications - thought I'd post results. Really horrible pictures, from my phone - but pics nonetheless (Tim).
The spoiler is up only for effect - yes posing.... for pics only.
Added PSS9s, dropped 1.2", new Sport Design wheels from my old turbo twists. R-compounds will go onto the old wheels for my next DE.
Really like the new suspension - much more stable at speed, and honestly it feels easily as compliant as the stock US suspension. New wheels, love 'em - heavy but good-looking.

Did the alignment - got over 1.5 degrees negative camber front and about 2.1 in the rear. Didn't change sways yet - wanted to get a feel for the changes on the track before doing more - I know sways will keep it flatter - and may help reduce understeer.
Very wet, rainy DE last weekend with Carolinas PCA at Kershaw - hard to tell what it will do in the dry, but I didn't have much push, if any. Car felt very neutral in the wet. Blue group - thanks for the great instruction Harvey!
Sways are on the list - along with some spacers to widen the front stance a bit. But again - kind of want to take it one step at a time - don't want a dedicated track car - but one that's capable for DEs. Before doing much more, honestly, I think I'd put my pennies towards a dedicated track car.
Thanks for the good words.
