I've spent a couple days driving the car around now and so far, I like it! The ride isn't bad at all, in fact it's better than when I bumped the compression in the rear shocks up to compensate for the too soft prior springs. I'm not sure I can accurately describe how the car feels on the road now, it's like it pivots or rides off the rear of the car instead of the front. I'm still getting used to how well it corners, rear grip has increased tremendously. I'm loving how I can drive it right up to the edge comfortably and it gets tight first instead of loose...with the rear staying under the car the whole time.
I still have the rear shock rebound and compression set at full soft (so I wouldn't freak out on the ride initially). I'll bump up the rebound to where I used to run it before for my first run at the race this Sunday and see what happens.
Doctor Ron said to put everything else back to where it was and run it. I've been thinking that it does seem to be tight once I race it, I can stiffen the rear sway bar up to loosen it up again. And I have plenty of adjustment available in the shocks as well if necessary.
My daily driver truck in on the lift now with the front steering knuckles off getting new upper and lower ball joints, idler and pitman arms...so I don't think I'll get to swapping the BFGs on before Sundays race. That test will have to wait until later.
Scott, I took out 250# springs and replaced with 600#s.
