        No offense, but he wanted to go with a clean looking DD, sportmaxx will take away from that effect.

              I've been busy lately with gathering stuff for my suspension overhaul.
              Going to be tracking this summer, so I better get ready:
              -polyurethane bushings
              -thick sway bars
              -Strut brace
              -new struts
              -Mild weight-reduction

              New wheels will be a surprise ;)

                  U don't need all that fancy suspension stuff to hit the track. Why don't you go, do the event, and see what your car needs to improve itself.

                  That said, the only way you will really make yourself faster is seat time. But you know that.

                    This to the fullest. Also hit up Pole Position!

                      I understand that.
                      I've autocrossed once before, and I've put a couple thousand miles on these springs to realize that their rate isn't going to cut it for me.
                      I really should have gone firmer, but yeah.
                      My sport's season ended today after 8 months, so I'll finally have time to do all the things I wanted to do before, now.

                          Been feeling pretty depressed because of the Peugeot, and my body pain, but here's my new rack setup for Summer 2011.

                                well at least the Peugeot looks sweet standing still

                                and the seats are comfy ;)
