Greg: I was forcing SASKINS to take wide hard turns at speed so we could view the OEM suspension body roll compared to the (work in progress) racing set-up I have on my car. As you can see, the OEM suspension has alot to be desired for road racing. As far as that goes, I'm still trying to dial-in my suspension properly and it was a great learning experience to see how far I've taken the suspension from the factory standard.

We are finding that the fine adjustments get screwed-up by the ETC, though turned off, will still activate itself during throttle turns, or power slide turns. This is all a work in progress and still needs some fine tweaking and perhaps even pulling the ETC sensor.

This video shows, not driver capability, but the huge difference in the OEM vs. racing set-up I have on my car... I hope you take another close look at the line I am able to hold through the chicane and sweepers compared to SASKINS OEM suspension. This was the purpose of the video, so we could guage the work we have done on the handling of the car.

There are alot of components other than aftermarket springs, dampers etc. that have gone into my car since that video was shot... now it handles like a track car and IMO can't be touched by any other Crossfire in the twisties !!!
