Re: handling improvements

["dale witt" <dalewitt@express-news.net>]

I have pretty much the same setup on my 86.5 as Kevin has and I think it is
about as good as it gets.  However, I run with 16x7.5s and have still
maintained a comfortable ride for a daily driver.
Also, after autoXing for a while I noticed some stress cracks in the frame
so I installed a triangular subframe from Autotech and the car drives like
on rails............good luck.
