- Wow, now that's interesting. The kind of modification that would absolutely meet tech criteria for probably every sanctioning body--if only because they couldn't detect it. I'll play with that. It mi

- For the guy's running SCCA that is fine. Cut off the whole mess and put on unequal upper and lower A-arms and coil over shocks. Get out there and beat Those RX7's. But as for me, I like the back end

- Interesting idea. Put enough engineers on something and you are bound to find as many different ways to fix a problem. Remember to get a shorter shock because the size Koni's and Spax we use now wil

- Hmmm. Okay. Sounded too good to be true. I tried it on FSGP last night and got a nice camber curve. Didn't do much to the bump steer, but it didn't really make it worse. Not a bad modification, and i

- Like Jack, I am not trying to judge. I was a SCCA tech inspector and I am afraid I still tend to look at things in that vain. I gave it up when the GCR got to be over 1 inch thick. I did get to learn
