we all get curious of what our car can do. I think its useful to know how much it takes to break ur car into a spin. and of course...not ona public street, actually not even in a street
so we buy parts, and never "use" em?

So dangerous, sure its good to know.... maybe but, I wouldnt be pushing it to the the limit on public roads. You do realize how easy it is to get into wreck even if you think you know what you're doing. All im trying to say is be ******* careful, it sucks to see a car get messed up for doing some dumb s***, find and Auto X and have fun.

In for pics. And dampening at the hardest level is not the safest thing to do. Higher risk of blowing them and you have to set some preload on the springs before install if not done already. Other wise you will have the spring "sagging" and it will move around and not be as stable. You wanna set preload on the spring and lower it through the threaded spindle mount.

thanks for that info. i had mines like that, then i screwed them back down "sag", but u can move them to thwere they make noise, but they wont go off align with the perches. I always had them all the force all the way down even with the preload on them. its confusing sometimes. ur not saying preload is recommended for higher levels are you?
yes its common sense to not do that on public roads. im not so sure about twis since he said driving around but anywho.

you should keep them at the softest setting for a few hundred miles. they will need some time to break in. you think they are good now, just you wait...they will get even better after they break in!
hurry up with those pics! lol
