Finally had a chance to push the car some with all the nice weather earlier this week..


Holy crap does the Pedders/PFADT stuff make a difference... took the Cumberland South clover leaf from 90/94 the other night and the car didn't even hesitate. No roll, pushing, no pulling, no instability. The car just turned in to the curve, stayed in it, stayed stable, rear fully planted, no hopping, nothing. Even the steering lag is gone.

Shifting lanes rapidly no longer results in body wobble then lane change. It's just one precise lateral movement.

There seems to be less pushback on the car when at highway speeds from the lowering (-1.5") which is nice.

The ride is much firmer now, but I have the coilovers set at 18F/14R so that's to be expected.

I will admit that I can hear tire/gear noise now -- not bad, but it's present. Also, I can hear the shifting mechanisms inside the cabin as well as the drive line slack -- also, not bad, just noticeable.

Wheel hopping on the street seems pretty much gone, even on the cooler days when I usually had more issues with that. Now, it's just tire spin when I push it too hard, but even that clears up faster than before.

Definitely anxious to see how it responds on an actual road course in April.

I got a ride in his car a couple of week ago just after I got mine, and the handling is much more improved over stock. I'm going to work on my suspension at some point too I'd like to lower mine a bit.
