Damn. Do you scrape your bumper when that happens?

That's a good thing. With the front of the car lower, you can see the cones better.

Daaaaayyyyyyyyyyyuuuuuuummmmmm! Are you trail braking in that top shot or is all that dive just from turning? FWIW, I need 450# springs in the front of my light CRX to keep the dive in check. I bet your hitting the bumpstops too.

I'm am trail braking into the turn which was on a slight incline.

But nope haven't hit the bump stops yet. I'm only dropped 2" front and 1.75" rear.

I considered it, but I used up my racing funds for this year (you'll understand when you get married)

The car handles great though. My only competition this year was Chris Shenefield, who took 1st at Nationals in STS I've done fairly well in other regions too.

I was thinking of switching the springs from front to back and back to front. But I like the way the car feels and handles.

What would you like up front? I've got some GC/Eibach ERS springs sitting around... maybe you are interested, no?

Line of springs maybe expanding as I'm considering changing my setup AGAIN... maybe you are interested, no?

I will check tonight...

what you need for springs?? i've got a pair of 500's coming off the car this weekend. throw those on the back and put the 450's up front. it won't change the balance either. your wheel rates will stay about the same. i wish i had the amount of travel your car has though.

oh wait. you don't have 450's. ok, the balance of your car will be even more neutral.
