not sure i would man lol, i kinda like the oversteer i have dialed in to the front right now. gotta save up for the rear anyways as i was told it would be best to replace the end links for the rears as the stock ones cant handle to much stress on them.

P.S.

i just now got that you were joking about removing the front swaybar lol

I'm working on it bud. I have my CCW lap cut, but now need to work on the CW. I also will cut out the laps Sina, me and the guy in the white 370z followed one another. Should be ready to go in the next few days.

Martin C - Replied via PM. Thanks man!!


Everyone - I started my own track day chronicle tread here: DLo's Track Day Chronicles. I uploaded a few videos of my best lap times for the last SoCal HPDE event at SoW. I will cut the video where Sina and another white 370z chased each other on track.
