They suck for road racing. Bilsteins HDs or Konis are they only way to go if you're into real road racing.

Dan- they worked out well. obviously i could have had stiffer shocks, but considering the versitilty of these things i couldnt be happier.

heres some pics from the event: http://home.attbi.com/~royboy82/ra.htm

i was pretty hard on the brakes since i have an auto so my nose was diving a little <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

my only vertical suspension mods were the hals with stock springs.

the car hugged the road well- the tires were holding me back a little though. i was hanging with a modded Z06 for a couple laps so i was happy <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> he def had more power though cause he pulled away on the front straight pretty good. but anyways- they did good.

brad- look at the date i posted that doofus <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
