i dont believe we have met but ive seen you around a bit on the forums. i thought your video showed good car control but it seems like your car's suspension setup is lacking. work on getting your car dialed in and i think you will be doing surprisingly well. how many track events have you driven?

havent dont many events...no more then 10 events...suspentions isnt that bad, it was more that i had junk tires...i was having problems with understeer in initiation and rear grip all day...

my car does need a lot of attention to the suspention given it only has megan street coils and suspention technique rear sway bar...but given my current situation im going to have to wait a little while longer before i can start buying parts to correct it...i just recently installed megan subframe collars because my subframe was moving up and down...but soon enough ill have everything the way i want it..

btw, are you Rob with s13 hatch on advans, hids, kade running open dp that i was talking to at the Irwindale event??..and have them prototype front knuckles with crazy angle??

You should sell the sway bar and use the money for something more useful. Really.

yup that me i think the rear sway bar is a good idea. i have a tanabe silver rear sway bar on my car w stock front sway bar. it seems like you need to align your car properly aswell as set the ride height with a rear a little bit lower.

actually, i really need some front lowr control arms...my front driversde arm might be slightly bent foward causing the wheel to rub the fender..i was told the passengerside was bent when i bought it, but when compared to a good one it seemed almost identical...

either way i was thinking about getting some brand new ones from nissan and re-enforsing them or buying some Megans for the adjustability...

i need to fix my rear camber for sure tho...theres way to much negative camber and not enough of a traction patch for me to be happy with...
