Suspension was not setup correctly, it should be close now, still need to rescale it. We also needed to make a converter change. Suspension has been changed and the converter is done with the exception of picking up a new o-ring before we reassemble the torque converter.

Thanks, the driver rear was heavy to start but we've fixed that.

We've got most of the suspension set correctly, still need to adjust the sway bar and springs for ride height. Pretty much everything is ready for our next outting.

We changed the brake pedal by moving the arm up 1" and really has helped out with the brakes. Now we can footbrake the car and build 7-8psi before we grab the transbrake and get ready to leave. We plan on finishing up the remainder of the suspension wednesday morning and if we get done in time we'll head over to the "War on Wednesday" race @ MIR for some more shakedown passes. We'll definitely be at the friday "Real Street" Race @ MIR.
