Yeah I couldn't hear the revs well on the downshifts.... was it a major adjustment in your heel-toe method to match revs?

Hey Todd,

Just caught back up on this thread and wow, your car is performing great.

I took a break from mine for a bit after the mad thrash to get it on the road and I'm discovering that working out the bugs can be tougher than building it in the first place...so I admire your perseverance.

Now that it you've had them awhile, I wanted to follow up on your rear springs...are you still happy with the 275 springs in the shorter length? How do they ride on the street?

I'm running 200/12 inch spring on my tri-4 bar and feel they're way too soft...

Thanks,
Jason

great run Todd. I think the track is way better run in that direction; last time I was there they were running reversed, which sucked in comparison.

Jason, I am happy with the springs. They ride fine on the street with the shocks dialed down between 0-2. When I lowered the car .25" two weeks ago, I had to safetly wire the spring to the shock body due to a small gap between the adjuster collar and spring at full extension. I've autocrossed and road raced and haven't encountered any issues.(I have 2.25" compression and 2.75" of rebound) I really depends on your setup. If you have a rear sway bar, going to this stiff spring will require the removal of the rear sway bar. Feel free to PM me any questions....

Jody, I didn't run with Mary and Carl on Sunday but they did run it counter clockwise. I thought the same thing, clockwise seemed like the best configuration.
