My rocc plows now!



The intrax springs that Dan has are pretty damn stiff.  I don't know the
fine details but they dropped the car a good 1.5 inches.  I've driven his
car since the springs were added and took some hard corners with it and it
handles nice.  When we put the sway bar in Saturday, I took it for another
spin to see what it would do and almost straightened a corner with it.  I
cam into the corner at about 65mph lighly on the gas, got into the corner
then went to power out to see if the back end would try to come out.  I got
the opposite, the front just plowed like all hell.  It didn't take much to
stop the plow, but thats not the kind of reaction you want.

Dan prollie won't have this problem much as he's still a bit timid to take
it in a corner real hot, but he's planning on dropping a 2.0l 16v in that
thing by the end of the year, and I know he's going to want to run the hell
outta that.

more??
a stiff rear and helps to rotate the car more...
