Default Action Pics

F Humans,
I finally got a chance to belt my F in a closed road type environment this past weekend. It performed faultless under extreme duress, and I had a ball. It really does need a bigger rear sway bar as the initial turn in understeer was even more pronounced on the track. I've ordered some Tein Coilovers for it too after the weekend. All the pics were taken on different runs even though it looks like they all came from the same run.
Jeff

I think he'd hate them pretty quickly. They're poor quality at best for competitive driving.

The car doesn't really need more rear sway, it needs more spring in the front. It's too soft from the factory.

We shall soon see. I have the bar here, and I generally find the car pleasant enough around town, except for some initial rebound jerkiness. I like a car that follows my lead with the steering wheel rather than fighting me with understeer.
What spring rates are you running in yours Lobux?

I haven't played with the suspension but I know it's light in front because I'm starting to have inside rear wheel lift problems. More front spring will cure it pretty nicely. There's actually not a lot to do with it stock, I'll need some decent shocks capable of using standard springs - probably next year since the season is winding down for me.
