Way to stay on topic. Nice.

You're already holding one hostage. What's next? :sarcasm_smiley:

The reason you've retired from that is you've run out email images of someone else's parts or graphs :lol:

You guys wanted me to post a picture. Well, here is a picture. Use your imagination. :lol:

I promise I will actually get decent shots of how everything fit.

I haven't taken the car apart yet. I'm putting together a list of things to fix and/or change.

So far I need to:
pick between between springs and sway bars.
450lb springs with solid speedway bar, or 550lb springs with .250" wall bar

possibly change master cylinders for softer pedal with more travel. If I go softer springs I want a softer pedal so that it has more travel and provides better modulation and feedback for trail braking since that setup should allow me to roll into corners softer and smoother but ultimately carry more speed. The big question in my mind is whether or not there is even a point to trying to drive the tighter autocross tracks, or Adams like that. Most of those turns are so sharp you need to be able to scrub off speed and turn tightly off throttle without getting a lot of push when applying throttle to exit the corner.

Also need to send wheels out to Forgeline to re-hoop. I don't suppose you have any lying around that I can borrow during that time, Ron? They will be returned with some Pilot Super Sports. :D

I've been going back and forth with Ron Sutton on front spring rates, and which to pick to try out after swapping to bigger tires. I feel bad because I'm a bit stuck with what worked with the 275s and might be trapped in the mindset that if it worked best with smaller tires, it must work best(er) with bigger tires. I probably haven't asked the right questions about cause and effect and how each change relates to the others I've made. I usually need a conceptual understanding of things before I warm up to using them. I think I feel more comfortable if I know how parts work and how best to drive with them.

Matt I'll take that deal...:stirthepot:

MAtt,

I have individual master cylinders for the front and rear brakes. 3/4" front, 7/8" rear.
