Which is why if you hypothetically did wreck at the track, you would then hypothetically tow wrecked car to nearby ditch and hypothetically claim you were "ran off the road at turn 4, i mean, umm...last exit ramp".

Finally picked up the Eibach Pro-Kit yesterday and installed them onto the FG3. Not too much of a drop, but for the price I got them for, I can't complain. Also since they're the only lowering springs available for the FG3/FB2, I really can't complain. Lol! Overall, I'm quite pleased with the Pro-Kit. The ride is not much different from stock. A little stiffer as expected, but nothing close to being uncomfortable. The stock dampers work brilliantly with the increased spring rates. Brake dive has been minimized also along with with body roll. I can't wait to see what Lana can do at Willow Springs International Raceway and Streets of Willow later on this month!

Now for a couple of pictures. Enjoy!

You know I wouldn't do that... Don't worry, this is only temporary until coilovers come out for the FG3.

Since Work was out of stock of Matte Black 11Rs, I had no choice but to get two bronze ones this week in order to let me friend borrow them for the Super Street Magazine FF Battle 4 this coming Saturday at the Streets of Willow at Willow Springs International Raceway. After this weekend, I'm going to move the black 11Rs to the left side and the bronze ones to the right. This setup will have to do until I can order another two Matte Bronze 11Rs.

Here's a cool shot from yesterday at Willow Springs International Raceway taken by my buddy from JDM Zip Ties.

Took Lana to The Streets of Willow on Sunday for a few laps before trying out Big Willow.



What the front tires looked like after 3 laps at SOW and 3 laps at Big Willow. The OEM Continental ContiProContact tires held up pretty well to allow me to take Turn 8 flat out reaching over 100 MPH. However, due to the heat, they started giving up during my 2nd hot lap which forced me to retire.



Finally put on the 11Rs last night. I'm really liking the bronze more than the black.
