Sounds like a plan. I will keep my eyes open for ya'll. I might have to run my own car just to see what happens. I have never run a car on the track before.

There are many other good companies who make good control arms, etc. for half the price of MM. D&D is one of them.

Completely agree. I've even thought of switching to a D&D coilover setup for the front end sometime in the future. Need to get some rear control arms and tq box reinforcements before I mess with the front anymore though.

Yea, Im happy I went with D&D. Im just waiting to save up for the a arms and coil over. Im still clueless on what shocks/struts to run though [&:] I like corner carving on the street but I need something that will perform well at the track though. And Cant use beilsteins or QA1's in the front because they wont work with the coil over setup.

Will Strange struts work? Or Koni Yellows?

Yea, Im not sure about what spring/shock to run in the rear but I think Im going to go with a strange 10 way in the front.... If I have to lean either way I would lean more towards a track suspension.

I mean, I dont want to be able to go take a turn at 100mph... I just want the car to do a little more than it does now ya know.... thats why I think Im going to go a little bit more towards drag because Im more concerned about how my car does at the track than how it does on the street.
