    I mean ppl just pick and chose who to flame.. The S|W car of the year won, but yet he is on CUT SPRINGS (no dish to the owner) and he won largely over 1badg35's perfect 300zx z32?.. So CHILL the hell out.. I so wish i was a moderator. I would so be handing out so many warnings!

    OP I don't really agree with everything you've done, but i'm glad you're sliding the stang. Not many ppl do that cause of the imbalance halfs
    Fair enough, 244Brick i agree with your assessment of the S/W car of the year. I think that the 300zx deserved it but that's just my opinion. I also would agree that the targets for the 'flaming' seem to have bias, but isn't that the risk of posting on these types of forums?

    Not everyone is going to agree with what your doing to your car or the fact of if it is safe or not (i'm sure we've all had someone tell us what we do to our cars is stupid or dangerous at some point) but i think i've supported my comments on 'design modifications' to the control arms with realistic and commonly excepted engineering concepts. This may not justify some of the general comments on here but i think the OP has tried to defend his choices, tried firing back and, ignore a lot of the discouraging comments.

    I know i've taken heat for my posts on here and other forums, but it's par for the course, after all this is internet and when you post you take the chance of getting compliments or criticism . It seems a lot of us are drawn to see the oddities of the stance world for the taste of something different, so it probably doesn't help this car isn't an E30, W201, MKIII, Civic, ect.

    OP keep calm and carry on doing your thing all be it unusual and possibly ill-advised. i support your DR. Pepper collection

    Wow. I know this isn't directed at me but this makes you look like more of a fool than you already do.

    Overall, I am extremely satisfied with my suspension setup on the road course. I may upgrade to 400 or 450lb springs in the front because I have a little bit of body roll. It probably didn't help that I had my swaybar off, lol.

    Wat.
    You took away the one part of your suspension designed to eliminate body roll, then complain it has body roll.

    You mean coming from someone with real racing experience.

    Reading fails you. Read my signature again before taking shots at people you don't know.

    reading this is actually really funny! I hope you mounted your seatbelts better than you've done the rest of your car.. you'll probably need 'em!
    I was shocked to see he used a harness bar. Here I was half-expecting him to go full-retard and bolt it to the floor behind the seats.

    But hey, who am i to say that this guys crazy or doesn't know what he's doing. My mech eng degree isn't worth shit when it comes to these arguments, only the reality of broken stuff can instill common sense .... hopefully
    None of us here with an engineering degree know anything, don't you know that? It's okay because racecar #yolo ratrod or some shit.
