[QUOTE="kevinatfms, post: 16708779, member: 39344"] Started making some changes. We swapped back to standard struts and springs to reduce the chance of the camber slipping due to the slotted coilovers. We battled them slipping every day at the last event. Cost us alot of time and laps. So, KYB AGX front dampers/KYB GR-2 rear dampers, H&R Sport springs - 1 coil cut front/2 coils cut rear with refreshed rear sway bar end links. Spring rate dropped from the coilovers to the springs. Even with coils cut we will have a pretty good rate to start. Some body roll might help plant the front tires a bit better. Still contemplating camber bolts up front over drilling the top mounts farther inward on the tower. Also cut out more useless metal. Hood has been mostly gutted and rear doors have had all extra material removed. Started procuring new tires to replace the two sets we burned up/destroyed. Instead of going to 215's we are going back to 205's but this time 205/50R16's. Went cheap on the 200tw tires and will try out some Accelera Sport 651's. For $432 a set shipped they are a steal. They are a bit taller than the last set 23.6" to a 24" tire so gearing should be a little longer. Also changed up the intake a bit. Open filter was nice but i went and picked up a Spectre intake box which we will plumb with a hose to feed it from the front of the car. Hope to pair this with the ported throttle body and intake manifold. Finally, a new Vibrant muffler was purchased for a new exhaust system which is forthcoming. Going with 2.25" from the exhaust manifold back to the new muffler. Should open up the exhaust sound while not being ridiculously loud. [/QUOTE]
