Suspension repair suggestions

I took my car to the Touge.ca lapping session at Toronto Motorsports Park on Sunday and one of the guys (Quincy, RX-8 driver) drove my car around the track a few times with me to show me the lines.

He noticed that the front end seemed soft and that there was a vibration coming through the steering wheel on bumps (some of you may have seen my thread in the 3rd-Generation forum regarding the vibration). My instructors at the CASC Ontario Time Attack school noticed the same thing.

Where is the best place to get the suspension looked at? Is this something to check with Mazdees or another specialist or will the dealer (Gyro Mazda) be able to figure out the problem?

Dealer is a waste of time for anything track related. Mazdees will find it easily.

I would agree with Marco there, even though I work at Gyro.
You'd likely be better off going somewhere that has motorsports experience if you'd like to keep tracking it. They might have some other suggestions for you based on your combined use of street and track, among other things.

I've been meaning to bring her in to say "hi" at Mazdee's anyway. I'll call tomorrow to schedule a visit.

I'll also be bringing her into Gyro this summer for an oil change and tire rotation, so everybody wins.

Thanks for the input, guys.
