The last event was also my last event on stock suspension. I decided that a set of coilovers and camber arms would be my next major upgrade. I decided to do this over a LSD because I just really want to see the difference between stock and modded suspension. I think the overall feel of the chassis will improve, and I'll be more comfortable pushing the car and tires. The LSD will be next on the list. (now taking recommendations. I want a clutch type. Maybe a Kaaz?)

After talking to corner3, and seeing what people run on here, I decided on SPL front and rear camber arms, SPC rear toe bolts, and a set of custom valved and sprung BC racing type BR coilovers. These parts ALL look top notch, but the SPL stuff...my god. The upper control arms are beautiful lol.

According to the rules, Redline time attack and Global time attack both say you must run 1 way adjustable coilovers in Enthusiast class. Because of this, and because of BC's option to custom build your coilovers, the BR's were the perfect choice. I decided on 14k front and 12k rear swift springs. These rates should be ok with no aero and street tires. These get installed this week, and We run Streets of Willow counter clockwise...AT NIGHT. That will be fun I'll be working on the settings, but I'm hoping to be faster right out the box. My best CCW run is a 1:38.1. I'll stay conservative and say a 1:35 will be a success. I'll also be working hard, as this will be my first night run on a track ever. Stay tuned!
