This is the largest M4 class I've seen, if this keeps up I'll need to really bring my A game this season!

There's no question you need to bring it! Even if it's just you, Steve and Soraya, you're gonna have to work for it!

If nobody noticed, I've decided to try my luck in M3 this season. I'm going to bring my A game and lose anyway!

Awesome, it will be interesting to see how the competition ends up. We'll have old vs new, RWD vs FWD.

I noticed it last nite and forgot to give you an "attaboy" for pushing yourself, et al. :thumbwink:

Hope your A game is better than mine :snore: :lol:

Joe has been racing FWD Realota for the last 3 events. He should really suck Sat.

Don't forget to set your perch heights correctly. (no lowering in stock)

This is gonna be fun to watch. :D

You realize, of course, that shock is upside down. :twisted: Let me know when you want to use the spring compressor.

Thanks I don't have access to an extra car to run the shocks over to be assembled. I have a set of suicide sticks I'll have to try my luck with.

Hope you got some new bump stops with those!! You know they ONLY adjust in rebound right? You'll still be on the bump stops unless you bought new factory springs too. You have limp springs due to age of car. I had them too - due to age and fat ass only.

Yeah, top is stock, next is stock Bilstien equivalent, and the third is, well, lower. It's all in the instructions. You will have to drill your top hats. It's an easy job if you have the right spring compressor.

Like anyone is going to measure :snore: Don't get your hopes up too high. BUT. When I got my first yellow Koni's and set them for full "Stiff" in the back I gained 4 seconds and was accused of cheating. Go Philip.

Good luck to everyone on Saturday. I'll be playing with JAXSolo at the Firm, looking forward to rejoining the FasT crew in October

Philip with new shocks, new tires and wheels that fit. Lambs will lay with lions next.

Congrats Philip :) I know these have been on your wish list for a long time. Will you have them installed by this weekend?
RE71s and Koni yellows. This will be fun to see in action.

Feels like a different car, doesn't it?

It still rolls a lot but it's so much smoother, it can actually make mid corner adjustments now without death under or oversteer. Also the rear tires feels so much better and the fronts feel like they have more grip mid corner.

Also, anyone have a good baseline I should set the the rebound at? I'm in the middle at all 4 corners right now. I'm tempted to soften the front.
