It's aftermarket, but junk. I bought it because it was adjustable and had a legally sized metal sleeve in the bushing. Looks like I will be back to OEM non-adjustable. Problem is, the rear has too much camber with them at any lowered height. May have to see if I can get an offset bushing made or something. That part could have been fatal if it happened on the highway or on a track day. I'm seriously pissed at the manufacturer. Worst part is I wasn't driving the car, I was in the passenger seat. I thought the diff blew up.

I knew you were going To say that

The PCA results today were inconclusive since the classed were split and people in thR sane class had both 100% dry and others had 100% wet, even numbers were wet and odd was dry. Logically all the odd number people placed first.

I guess the Practice event coming up will reveal all...

That's funny I was sitting right in front of the timer, must have missed that. Best I could do in the wet on my scuffed up Toyo's was 48.6, but they worked ok for AI in the very damp conditions of heat # 1. If you really want to take advantage of the power in your S2k come of out to FedEx where it can really make a difference, plenty of events there plus the best drivers in the region.

Mike- that sucks about your car… What brand is that thing? Well you know that things are going to break running 315 Hoosiers

I haven’t touched my car since last year; I got it to start on the weekend, I will run it like that at the SCCA practice event and see what happens…

yeah I dont think I could beat you in the dry but I like haveing goals and competiton. plus I was running on new star specs. but I wanted to talk to you when I was done but my B*&#$ of a girlfriend was too impaitent and was blowing my phone up saying she was going to hitch hike home and other dumb s*&$. so I just went up to the dude with the long hair entering in the times on the other computer asked my time and left. but my good time was on my re-run cuz they didnt get my 4th run. but I told her next time I'm racing leave me the F*&$ alone.
