Frank....just noticed you are running the steeda ultralites. Are you with stock shocks or aftermarket? How did it affect the handling? Thanks for info as I ran these on my 07 and really like them. This car handles so good with the suspension it has I don't want to send it the other way.

Thanks! I'm looking forward to the next season and appreciate your help during this one.

2nd in F Stock points this season in SCR SCCA. Looking for first this year with some experience behind me.

New wheels with Hoosiers mounted ready for break in Jan. 16 :)

I'll be calling for the Konis when the bank recovers.

Not too many posting this morning. I bet everyone is sleeping it off!! I hope all had a great time. We sure did here at the house with other couples who don't drink or drink very little.

They are much better than stock. Nose dive is greatly reduced and squat is reduced to the right amount to still give great traction, but adding LCA's or at least a LCA relocation bracket would improve traction. It's just as good as stock though. I'm currently still using the stock struts and shocks but have plans to go to after-markets in the next six months or so. As far as handling goes, the car stays much flatter in the corners, especially the high-speed sweepers. Where these springs really shine are when you aggressively get on the go pedal while going through a corner. If the rear end breaks loose, you can bring the nose back under control much quicker.

I would imagine if you plan to track your car, the Sports would be a much better choice. I eventually plan on getting into the local track events and even do some 1/4 strip time, so later on, I may change over to the Steeda Sports or something similar. But for right now and what I'm using the car for, these are awesome. [/thread-derailment]

Happy New Year to everyone as well! Christmas was good to me too (thanks Sam for the hookup on the sways and Fays2); too bad I have to wait so long for the next event. Wishing I lived down south right about now :)

New years started off with me doing a 360 and going over a curb and onto the grass!

My suspension is damaged :(
