for one my interior no longer creaks every time I take a hard turn. all the road vibrations have disappeared from where I plant my left foot on the floor board [which is kinda weird]. The rear shocks are definitely working much much harder, and are a bit bouncy now. It definitely takes a bit more work to control the car on rough surfaces.

I havent driven it enough to say much about actual handling. Although I did manage to take an on-ramp almost 30mph faster than I've ever managed to take it before.

Its only gonna get better Terry. With my Roush/ST200/Fast Track RSTB and of course my LSD, the car LOVED to eat the onramps up. I can't wait until the entire suspension is done on the car.

Neither can I, you can just tell the connectors are going to waste without some nice stiff coilovers.

I cant wait to get the control arms in the car... I have them sitting on my desk and every 5 minutes there is another employee playing with the ball joints.

I hate it when co-workers play with my ball joints!

I was drunk down in Rolla at my brothers frat one time... we jumped in this guys Nova SS... i was behind the driver. Before we hit the end of the on ramp we were doing 120....

well that was an off ramp that had a 180 dergree turn. ive been 100+ on on ramps

Ya this was a good ramp for launching... long strait and downhill. But he was at 120 before then end, that was about when he said, i dont like going over 130 with my sway bar being messed up like it is.... great just what i wanted to hear.

Last year I built a race car with my brother-in law for targa racing. Supercharged SHM Cobra motor. This thing was insane. 600 RWHP! I took the thing out on the highway when it was done. This thing had no traction until you hit the topend of 3rd gear. I turned onto the on ramp, as I looked to the left I see a Z01 corvette just flying. I hammered it, by the end of the ramp I was doing over 120mph. Thats my on ramp story!

i like going down the ramps and have the back end of the car start to slide cause your going to fast. definately an "Oh isht!" moment

In a front wheel drive?

In the race car you could be doing 80mph drop it into 3rd and smoke the rear tires!
