Help me choose a suspension setup

I hate to bring up a dead horse and provoke any confrontation with you Terry but today in other post's on this forum I was reminded of something related to this which you posted about me in the past that I felt you should be made aware of. Also the fact I'm running at Road America in a couple weeks reminded me of it as well. You've made quite a lot of fun about my driving ability and claiming how I'm so slow on track, and you also stated here that you do instructing and coaching, so here is a little eye opener for you.

As I've stated before I've attended BIR's Performance Driving School many times since 2012 and I truly believe they are one of the finest driving schools in the country, with some of the best instructors as well. One of the very first things they tell you in the classroom instruction is it is possible to get killed at 12mph. That may sound funny, but as Gary Curtis instructor there explains, "get on a bicycle and run into a brick wall at that speed and tell me how it feels".

Related to this I had a snowmobile accident in 1993 where I was thrown off my snowmobile into a 3ft tree stump at between 20-30 mph.

I hit head first and compressed two vertebra in my back which has left me Paralyzed from the chest down. I now have steel rods that run the length of my spine. I also broke my left shoulder, both clavicle and scapula, broke my right hip and have a pin and plate in my hip. Also broke 7 ribs, punctured both lungs, spent almost 5 months in the hospital recovering, and almost 2 years of in home rehab. And yes I do set off metal detectors!

So next time you go out on track and complain about someone running too slow, or make jokes about how slow spec Miata's are, try to think about this!

Dude... you keep bringing up this thread, over and over. This thread was dead in 2019. You ALWAYS have to have the last word, and keep making excuses while humble bragging.

You went to a driving school. Yay for you. Guess what - if your check clears, they will take anyone. And you had an accident on a snowmobile. We get it, it sucks, and you've brought this up many times.

Also, I never "made fun of you", your disability, or anything like that. You took it as such because you have painfully thin skin and you are too easily triggered (remember when you said you would "knock my goddamn teeth out!" because we disagreed on a particular part's track worthiness??? Pepperidge Farm remembers).

You have had several epic melt downs on this forum. You suck at debating, and go off on completely random tangents - like you did here (the "bicycle into a brick wall" example has ZERO to do with picking suspension). That input is totally tangential.

You continue to peddle bad tech advice in EVERY SINGLE THREAD on this section and others. The KB magic matrix brace is just one example. You are famous on many social media groups for this magic brace silliness - and yes, there are memes. But I will NOT STOP REFUTING YOUR BAD ADVICE HERE, even if you completely wig out and threaten to kick my ass again. Because your advice is usually not just a little off, but completely in the wrong direction. Skinny 20" tires, heavy wheels, supercharged Mustangs, bolt on braces. It is all bad.

What I have done, and will continue to do, is to point out the obvious - after you have made thousands of posts giving tech advice for track folks: with the slow lap times you have posted, you shouldn't be giving setup or suspension advice to anyone. That is still true. Kenny Brown shouldn't be giving tech advice, either. Nobody cares what he did 30 years ago with a Fox Mustang - his "racing experience" advice is not relevant anymore, not on S197 and S550 Mustangs. Lots of people shouldn't be giving tech advice. If you are slow, how would you know?

I'm also going to have to start charging you rent for OCCUPYING SO MUCH SPACE IN YOUR BRAIN!

Hey idiot, that post was from back in June so you are a little behind the times here, your the only one having a meltdown on this forum and you feel you have to write a book on every post you make. You are the one who keep bringing up old posts, and then again you make false statements to try to cover your ass somehow. I told you I'd knock your goddam teeth out when you lied about my wife on both facebook and this forum. You can't even tell the truth about that can you? You make up some other bs about track worthiness??? LOL!!!
That shows the low life POS you really are and I will continue to point out how you lie to cover your ass, and if you'll lie and make false claims on this forum and facebook you will do it to your customers as well. I'll also keep spreading the word about you and your lying to cover your ass!

Will the both of you give this a fucking break. Like you’re a pair of school children.

If you want to stop the craziness, give JJ the boot or moderate his posts. Seriously, he has more than earned it with his constant stream of bad advice, occasional outbursts and threats of violence, constantly pushing crazy theories, etc. His continued input reflects badly on this forum. I post to a lot of forums and have problems with crazy people on exactly one - this one.

I will continue to counter every bad piece of advice he gives - because the community needs to hear it. I've had more than a few calls from readers here that became customers literally because of my comments countering JJ and a few others who give similarly bad advice. They might not speak up here, but they do notice, and appreciate the "risk" I take confronting the "high post count / know-nothing" members on forums like this one.

Otherwise, if you continue to fail to moderate insanity this, vendors will stop supporting this forum and members will continue to leave. Forums are holding on by a tenuous thread, with free Facebook groups completely overshadowing vendor supported pay-to-play forums. We see 20x the questions / response / reactions on FB groups - which we have created, moderate, or otherwise post to freely.

We have had discussions more than a few times about "should we continue to pay X per quarter" to support this forum. S197 forum is borderline.

you've been a member here for 10 years and you haven't noticed that this forum has always been light on the moderation and allow a freedom to post. No craziness here, childish, yes. I'm less likely to ban then to moderate, again, something after 10 years I'd thought you'd be aware of. I have in fact moderated some of JJs posts in this vendetta the two of you seem to have developed. Rebut his comments all you want, not suggesting that you stop, just asked you each stop with the nonsense directed at each other.

do what you need to do as a business owner, it's my opinion that your style of posting likely keeps more customers away than it attracts, like my pay from the site, you pay nothing my
