Sympathy

Believe me..., you have my sympathy.

BTW, you're very right about the rear swaybar. I got the car back from the shop yesterday (with 1.5 degrees of negative camber on both rears and 2.0 degrees of negative up front) and added the 'progress' swaybar. Very dramatic changes.

I can throw the rear end around at will (with the steet rubber) and I'm not seeing as much front wheel spin. I also moved my Hoosiers from the 7" wheels to the 7.5" wheels and 'flipped' the tires, and they seem to stick better based on a short drive in the housing area (they're relatively fresh). I think I should 'soften-up' the rear Konis (they're almost full-stiff), but I'm going to see how the current setup works first.

I haven't added the URaceCars frame connectors yet. I plan to run in DSP this coming Saturday and see how the present changes work. I'll probably add the frame connectors the next weekend.

I'm emailing Panasport to see what they can do for me with custom wheels (I'll probably ping Enkei too). The widest I can find, for now, is 17x8" (American Racing - ugly -- but I don't care), and you could use spacers to deal with the offset issue, and squeeze a 275/40 x 17 on an 8" rim (Hoosier recommends a minimum of 9"). Kumho wants even wider rims for their 710s. If you don't want to mess with the camber, the 710 would be the best answer.
