You definatly got the balance worked out. Mind sharing tire specs and pressures? Did you shoot some tread temps to help with your set up pressure? Nice of the Shelby GT 500 driver to point you past after a few corners

Thanks again everyone, i appreciate all the feed back!

yes mrsix it is a nice track, I have 3 within driving distance but so far I like this one best. MidOhio, Summit point and Beaverun. All 3 are really nice, i haven't made it to summit point yet though. I have some videos somewhere of me at MidOhio, i took 1st one year and 2nd the next at the Triple Crown Speed Challenge. I actually ended up having the best time in all categories that day (n/a 6cyl, fi 6cyl, n/a v8, fi v8 etc) driving the supercharged tiburon v6 i built a few years ago.

The car did great on the long trip, it is around 280 miles up, race all the next day then 280 miles back so it is definitely a workout for the car lol.

bridgestone re050a pole position 235/40/18 (34psi) and 285/35/19 (39.5psi) (around $1300 from tire rack) <--(you can rotate the PP tires left to right which is great)

stoptech brake pads ($120) they work great, no fade all day.

meth injection running smallest nozzle with 90% water/10% alcohol for cooling (works great)

I have been thinking about spacers but i am not sure i can get any bigger than 5mm because my wheels are already almost flush with the fenders. i am afraid any more and i would be hitting the lip of the fender over bumps.

i have a set of springs i may cut and install but i am still scared to mess with the suspension since i am happy with how it handles now. i still need to post up a short video of my drive to work every day, it basically looks like 12 miles of the dragon lol. it makes for nice practice in between track days, i go to work so early that usually i will not see 1 other car on the road.
