That's right. When you leave how you came that's one of two main objectives.

I'm trying to upload it to my idisk so he can download it and do what he wants with it, but its a rather large file.

Nice words Mike. Thanks. If you want you can load to youtube and PM the link. Rep for yea.

True. I ran on RE-11's and when reducing the pressure that grip very well. I know the guys at the track were talking a lot about the AD08's. Might have to try those next time around.

Also I did an inspection on my car earlier and everything seemed great. Pads and all. I did see a small leak on the driver side bleeder screw where it must of leaked a little yesterday. I believe this can be common due to tracking and higher temps. But I tighten this down a little more. I really want some better coilovers. I also believe I need to raise my car more. I kept getting the upper control arm hitting in a couple turns due to the transition of the road. Which was usually in the middle of turn.
