do you 'got lean'?

no not AF ratio, i mean LEAN the car baby?



This was at my www.FindTheLine.com event at MAM. The track car was out with engine work, so I decided to wake up the street car. Put on my track rims/tires on the street FD and took a newer driver out to show him the line....the stock suspension sure does lean compared to my track setup :-) (hahahah)

Hey Damian,

I heard you met my DPE buddies up there. Sounds like it was a good time (as well as a TON of track time). Hopefully I'll be healthy next year to make it to one of their events.

Mine doesn't just lean, it pops wheelies when it hooks up

This one is my wife, the others are myself.

Stock suspension tends to lean a little.... the car had some old tires on it when this picture was taken, so it leans a bit more now.

Nice lean dude, those are great pictures, you should promote the photographer to "driver". :P

Seriously though, those find the line events are exceptional. I plan on attending them all!

Last weekend with RSR Race Springs and stiff Advanced Design shocks:

A bit less lean. Difference in lap times? Essentially none. But I'm probably still dialing in the new stiffer suspension.
