how our 03 stock suspension handles in a race track
as one of the instructor said "it handles great"
he said this while we were doing a simulated race at button willow
he passed, one turboed gti, a turbo integra, b16 crx, and a wrx, all on turns
i was, are you sure, i'm all stock, he said its well balanced, thats what's important
he drove the turbo'd integra, and he said my car handled better
the integra had fixed up suspension up, but stock in the back, and he said it was hard
to handle that car because wasn't balanced
i asked him to drive my car, because i spon out twice on run 3, and i thought it was the tires and suspension, lucky i didn't roll over both time
i was trying to concentrate on speed and shifter, instead of the lines
i did so much better after he drove my car, i held up with everyone, and i controlled the car a lot better
so the key is, slow in-fast out, and the right lines
i'm still going to fix up the suspension, but everything i do to the front, will be done on the back
the only bad thing that the instructor said was, "your car has no kick, no power"

Who Hoo!!!!!! another convert. Driving in a straight line just dosn't have the same appeal now does it?
Out here, I've been getting the same coments. One of our National level drivers ran mine and he said that it was very well balanced. He took 1st at the event (Even beat a 2.5 rs by a second and a half) in STS.
