Yep, that was going to be my second guess, almost made it my first. My buddy takes his Porsche to them.

I have been conversing with Will over the last six months or so. He super responsive and personable.

Me either but they seem solid. I am going to have dial it in at the track. I know I need to upgrade to a good two way coilover. He is a MCS dealer and sells tons of them to Porsche owners.

MCS is good stuff!

I know of a local 370z that runs MCS, but I don’t think the owner is on here though. Would’ve been great to do a ride and compare.

So a little bit of an update. The car has been corner balanced and the suspension setup. I don't have any data on ride height and specifics yet. He did tell me he probably would not lower the car more than a half inch from stock. All in all she not is a little heavier than I would have guessed but she has a full cage, monster bash bar, TT kit, 315 30 18 tires and wheels that are just under 20 lbs each. Still freaking stoked about the setup and the cross weights are as perfect as one can hope for.

Edit: The weight include my weight in full race gear, 210 lbs and about 12 to 15 gallons of e85. So the car is about 3190 curb weight. Fun fact, e85 weighs more than gasoline!

Some ballast weight on the pass side would help. Have JC sit on the pass side. :tup:

Think you have it backwards.

Think you mean this. It will loop back around after a few miles.

I can vouch for that. It threw my corner balance way off and the car handled like a pig.

I would say a coast guard cutter anchor for a canoe.

This is because you relax and just drive the car smoothly without over driving it. I always go faster after instructing a driver. Instructing gives me an opportunity to see the track and driving lines without having to worry about at the things you need to focus on when driving.
