Good discussion topic.

seperate question... If you were on a budget, what would be the most important to you? What area would you concentrate on first?

Personally, I have a hard time with this. I want a bit of everything, but can never afford it. rolleyes.gif I guess I'd have to say 1/4 mile action.

QUOTE
as a matter of fact, I am getting the car aligned again this week.... I have gotta get a lot of this negative camber out of the car's rear suspension.... 3 deg is way too damn much... I am wearing on about 3 inches of rubber in the rear while the rest of my tire is simply spinning around in the air acomplishing absolutely nothing.

I think that I am still going to run a fair amount of negative camber all of the way around, but 3 degrees is insane


aahhhhh shit!!!!!

The GSX has just got an upgrade in suspension now....

the adjustable rear camber kit is on as well as adjustable front camber, not to mention a fresh alignment to dial it all in....
the GSX previously ran 3 deg of negative camber in the rear and half degree pos camber in the front.... now it is sitting 1/2 degree neg camber all of the way around. The car is now predictable as hell, before it was like "if I go into this turn will it push, will it get ass slideways, will it grip???? lets see, oh shit!!!!"

now it is pretty much point and shoot.... point the steering wheel in the direction you want to go and it will go there, minimal slipage with just a hint of oversteer, just the way I like it!!!! can't wait till I can get it on a track
