Okay, so along those lines, I have some questions for those of you who are
racing the 1600 (or any of you who'd like to chime in)
Where can I source heavier springs for my roadster? (I'm doing a swap)
Will I encounter any negative effects if I swap to a rack and pinion steering
when I do this?
I'm allready changing-out the rear for an IRS setup, and the front brakes need
to go as well.... so is there an aftermarket setup that would be better suited
to track use? I mean, is a certain type of front -end better suited to
road-course situations? Equal A-arms? Wishbones? Struts? Or is the front
end okay... in which case: sway-bars? Where can I get heavier ones?
wow.
that's alot of questions.
I appreciate in advance all of your info, or even your "musings"......
thanks
