Often an improvement creates other problems that must be dealt with. The front spindles are drop spindles, and position the shocks at a more extended length, so we are nearly out of extension travel. It doesn't seem to be hurting performance, but it's one of those things that just isn't right, and we won't really know if there are "real" gains until we lengthen them.

Yea, gaining the extra compression from the spindles was nice but loosing the extension was unexpected. But, we seem to use compression more than extension (not many jumps). Still, it would be nice to have both. Will give us something to do over the winter.

I would say the car is more capable than it was a year ago and that's what I call "moving in the right direction".. I figure in a few years the car might actually be "done"..
