Mooty,

Though I won't be modding the springs or dampers this winter, just curious about your setup?

You are correct I threw the 300's on when I put the huge wing, widened the car, 10's f and 13's rear with RSR rubber all around, put Grand am splitter and World Challenge motor in it...What a skateboard it was!

1 N/m = 8.8 lbs/in.

FFaust,

If you are still looking for wheels, there appears to be a set of OZs for sale on the Rennsport site.

ALso ran 360 nm for a couple of events which I enjoyed but my codriver at WG thought it was too edgy/unforgiving so we backed down to the 300's. The cars will take WAY more spring than many think. The argument for softer spring(ie mechanical grip) never worked for me as it seemed like for forever for the car to stop rolling and take a set. For example most prefer a softer spring at Sebring and I wanted more so I could get the bodyroll finished asap and get to tire breakaway point to read what was going on . Others however can roll great speed with a soft spring, I just wasnt able to wait on it/trust it so to speak.
