A lot of RSR in
ALMS actually take off PMNA parts and use ERP. Not all the parts on toms suspension are ERP.

Great read. I am only now beginning to know the limits of my RS, and hence have started to move on to Hoosiers as a first step.

The next stage for me will be the suspension. I really don't understand nor know which to do next and will be relying heavily on my mechs for this (luckily they are the same guys that support a top level Cup car racer here in Asia).

The suspension/alignment set up I will be going for will be very track specific as I rarely use the car on the roads,but only need to drive it to the track some 280km away. As such I don't mind a tough suspension set up as long as it keeps the car handling the way I want it on the track (I do need the creature comforts inside the car though including carpetting and stereo and aircon- talk about an oxymoron. Will wait for my next bonus before committing to the further development of my RS though...
