Default could have been worse

so my friend wanted to try out his new suspension so friday night he gutted his car and he wanted to go on a canyon run.. blah blah fast foward to the end of the night we were goin down ogden canyon in utah and took one of the sharpest turns at about 65 then since the back was so light it started to slide and lost control and hit the barrier at 45 front end of the car went 3 ft in the air and the barrier was 2ft from the ledge into the river. all that happened was a bent fender busted corner light ripped bumper and a flat and a bent control arm. i think we were lucky.

I think you were lucky for the outcome displayed, but stupid for trying it in the first place.

well he was runnin eibach springs with koni blues or somethin like that and usually its not that bad but he also did have no wieght in the back of the car and it never did that but ya it was pretty stupid i guess but when we do go on canyon runs we go at like 3 in the mornin so if this does happen we dont make it worse by increasing the chance ofinvolving other cars. where smart and stupid its cool lol
