Re: mountain and track locations info help

canyon racing is to legal organized racing what jacking off is to sex...after a few go-arounds you will be disappointed. And like they say in "A Christmas Story": You'll shoot your eye out.

Re: DIY: adjustable OEM front upper control arms (UCA's)

Thanks, that helps a lot. Do you have any specs on the change in static or dynamic camber? Would your suggestion along with lowering the car 3/4inch(LS/GSR) be enough to have the same effect as 2.5*...

Re: SM2 crx setup help

seeing that your setup is unconventional, you might need to do some testing. i would worry more about the nut behind the wheel though, unless you have that covered ;-)

Re: SM2 crx setup help

the si brakes will also allow you to loose some rotating mass. the extra braking force will not be needed in an auto-x, and some would argue not even in track days. just make sure you get damn good...

Re: sway bars, adjustable control arms, and such

so the bar that connects to the LCA (like the ASR 24mm) will have an overall effect of making the rear end stiffer than the Progress 24mm assuming bushing material and endlinks are the same?
