I have two last names. So I use Leeder when racing because no one can say my other last name right lol.

just a quick update!

lowered the car this weekend. In the rear i took the coilover rings out completly since the liniar spring hardly compresses at all. The front isnt set yet but the car has some rake to it. When I get it back from the dealership (warranty work) ill work on geting everything all set. Right now with the front at max camber that the KWs will allow the 265s dont fit so i will be working on that as well.

got the car sitting where i want. I noticed on fast turns there was a cluck from the rear, found out with the car on the ground the rear KW springs are quite bound up lol. I might get shorter swift spring but i really like how the car feels. going into a turn with the OE wheels and 235 dunlops on the car just grips like hell! I cant wait to get the 265s on

Just emailed modern performance to see if they could get me some bc coilover rear springs since the kw springs in the rear springs are clearly binding up. I also have a set of rear bilstien springs off an Audi tt that will work.

1st event isn't till the end of this April so plenty of time.

Just detailed the cobalt today looking sexy picks to come

when I looks at Powells new parts it makes me want to do this again lol. Though I am liking the RTF class, I just wish the SCCA would make it a real class.

its the SCCA national Road tire class, RTF RTA and RTR. How milwaukee had F A and R, but not all areas have a street tire class unless you go into the ST classes.

Subd for reading later. Running STX myself this year, SS brake lines pushed me up there. I think the steering rack spacers actually kick me up out of STX, not to worried about getting called out on it though.
