What shocks are you guys running? anyone with 90/10's up front? I'm still undecided as I don't want it to be too sloppy on the street...

shame it's such a stuff around to change them. Might give it a go on the firm/street setup initially, see how much it hurts the 60ft time.

why is it a stuff around, took us about 2 hours to pull them out of the berlina with a trip down to the shops to get a ball joint tool

I just think its a pain compared to other cars. Which way do you do it? We took both struts out completely. In & out + stuffing around with siezed control arm nuts took 4+ hours.... Maybe it will be quicker next time Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

yeah thats what we did, entire strut. Is your car going to be andra legal for 10.999 and quicker? Because u'd be spewing if you got banned without the 90/10s and couldnt go back to see if you could go quicker. I'd say set the car up ready to rock and roll first go, mayswell do it properly

I'd say set the car up ready to rock and roll first go, mayswell do it properly I'm hoping for a 10 out of it. At this stage it is not legal to do that pass, I will probably see how much I enjoy racing it as to wether I bite the bullet and make it legal. I'd be fairly happy if it did less than 10.999 without 90/10s, it would probably inspire me to make it legal and have another crack with proper setup Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I'd say set the car up ready to rock and roll first go, mayswell do it properly yeah you're right there.. but if you get banned...really it would suck you would be pretty pissed if you got "11.8 @ 130mph" or something...:P then again people in the know should be able to figure that the car is a 10second car (120mph being the 'magic number')....especially with a high mph... but even then thats not enough for some.

chris, just have a spare strut for "changeover" if you're going to be racing alot that way less work involved to change it from race to street.
