Hey guys.. Just thought i'd announce this since i'm so excited for my upcoming track day.
So i'm hitting the track (Mid-speed) track, with no track experience whatsoever.My 3.5 has NO suspension mods, the performance mods are few but I have an Injen intake and a Greddy exhaust. I'm really excited to test out the stock suspension since the racing guys i'm going with are telling me that the car is wayy too high at stock height to carve corners (Which i believe). So, i've decided to order the Eibach pro-kit and the Stillen rear sway bar and the front when when it comes out. This of course will be installed after the track day so i can compare the stock suspension with Eibach's and RSB.
Anyways, ill keep you guys posted.. I hope i don't get pwned on the track.

Re: Ultimate stock suspension setup test (chow)
I went to Shannonville last saturday to test the car.
My car is running on stock suspension and tires. The worst thing about this car is its tires. The tires were squeaking as soon as i hit the turns. ( I was taking turns at about 80kmh though) but i would feel the tires slip away if i went any faster.I had alot of tire slippage during the straight away.The rear has a tendency to lose grip and slip out but .. Its not that bad at all. I'm not sure waht the stillen RSB will do, because i just purchased it and it doesnt look like it will do what it says it does.
And damn.. It was 160$. It looks like a 10$ piece of metal. But i guess Stillen did its R&D so ill take it to the track.My plan right now is to lower the cdar with the eibachs i just picked up.. Track it.Throw on the RSB then track it again.Or vice versa.
Ill keep you guys posted.

Yea, there is a lot more that goes into the making of products than just the material. Kinda like how the oil price itself is only half of the final price of gas at the pump!
