More and more reading on this topic and this is where I am looking to land. In Vegas it was 220+ and I was a little worried about it. I think the cooler stat is going to do me good.

Seriously though, the breakage is a bummer, but you are doing it the right way: using it. Good work on that, and good work on proving me right in the sense that softer springs are better . . .

Your newfound grip (nice camber setting!) may require you to engineer a more stout rack and cooling setup. I don't envy the research requirements . . .

Thanks man, Yeah I am a nut job what can I say. I am happy to be using it, just got a little frustrated that this stupid steering is what is going to kick my ass is all.

I believe that the "rebuilt" rack is my problem.

You crack me up.....whats in Georgia?

On a brighter note, Turn One was great so far, parts are shipped out and I should have them on Tuesday in time to get it back together and make it out to the SCCA Time Trials at PIR. As long as everything goes back together and no leaks I should be good to go.

I ordered some PowerFlex race bushings for the front, that is about all Ill be able to get done this coming weekend, still out of town for work until Friday night.
