What suspension are YOU running?

eh...While Emilio sometimes states the the Xida's are easily fine/comfortable/daily drivable, its hardly a dual purpose shock. I think Emilio doesn't necessarily want to turn away a buyer...Don't get me wrong, I am sure they are fine for the street, but I hardly think they can be classified as dual purpose.

^Sounds good. You guys are probably right anyways, I am sure they are comfy just really low. Our streets suck here and I have to deal with bumps frequently, so that might be an issue for me (although driving with 6-points doesn't seem to be so far).
Good to see you on here hustler.

Big bumps are not a problem with my track car and I am tucking tire in the front, almost tucking in the rear (4" front, 4.25" or so rear). I drive over speed bumps to get into my apartment and the track car sucks them up nicely. On the track, it runs over the curbing like it's not there. It was pretty cool to give rides at the end of the day at Maitas at Hallett, everyone gets out and says "Its so smooth!!!"

sounds like what I need! might have helped with my mid-kink spin out since my instructor said its likely due to chassis upset:

Tell me what you think Masta Hustler!
at about 13:30.
you can check out some of my earlier laps (particularly at 5:33) and see that my steering is actually about the same. Initially I thought I dialed in too much steering on my spin.

It looks like you should have planned ahead for that hump rather than worry about suspension stuffs.

I didn't watch the video, this time I did. I think that is a place where good shocks can make a difference, but you still have to plan for it. I run HHR which is a horrifically bumpy track, I can get all 4 tires off the ground in two places...and still take lines that people tell me not to because of the bumps. They don't make the car magical or anything, just easy to drive and very smooth.

yea, I am just being a smart ***. I think ultimately I turned in early due to anxiousness, too much bump, landed on the bump stops and the rear kicked out.Shocks might have helped, but I don't think so. At least not on stock spring rates. One thing is for sure, snap oversteer is in every ------- car.
Have you changed your CA bushings yet Trey?
