Default Cut springs in action

I spent my Sunday at the go kart track where I quantify my suspension modifications. I ran my best times ever with cut SRT-6 springs. I believe that I'm not even close to reaching the limits of the cars capabilities on the track but after a few spins with the Eibach's I'm a little spooked and slowly upping the corner speeds. My best time with the Eibach's was 59.4 and my best time on Sunday with the stock cut SRT-6 springs was 57.7. I had 4 heats and each heat I got faster. I left early because a rear tire was loosing air at the rate of 10 lbs. each session but if I stayed I would have lowered my times even more. Turns out I picked up a nail the size of the Eiffel Tower. You can see the extent of roll and dive under braking. I don't think it's bad at all. One video taken from outside and one from my slowest session from my car. I hope you enjoy the videos.
