Is it just me or does the FD lean more than the FC? I've got an FC with coilovers and an FD with coilovers, both with aftermarket swaybars and all, and the FD rolls a noticeable amount, while the FC is just flat as a pancake (but hops and skips everywhere). Maybe it's just the valving on the shocks, who knows. All I know is the FD handles a hell of a lot better!

Everything Rotoober said + 1 Why wail till next year? Next HPDE Dec 16th. Safe and well run event.

Hi Paul, glad to see you are still a 7 owner. Still have mine, plus a couple more, have an 88 n/a track car, and a roller, 89 Tll that I am going to make into a track car with a LS1, or a turbo rotary, not sure yet.

Oh yeah, think I could fly out next year and drive your car at thunderhill cousin, lol

Hi, I think your car looks great. Have any more hi res pics of the thing (on the track, esp... I was thinking 1200 x ? resolution)? What wheels do you have (size, offset, weight, brand)?

...resurrecting...

Check out the May 2007 Grassroots Motorsports page 49. It's not much lean (I think it was a straightaway), but it's not often an FD shows in GRM.

I love this one - full throttle with lean:

This is about the max lean I think you can get - Kumho v710s on stock springs and swaybars:

K sport kit.

They dont normally give that much body roll, its just that that corner makes any car roll really...your flooring it in 3rd from the apex out and the corner is banked and downhill but changing gradient to flat as well, so it really compresses the suspension!
