did you change the frt suspension at all to counter the extra weight now sitting on your nose?

The car is running Cusco Zero-2R coil-overs and has a B9 Tribeca front sway...

I took the car to the Gainsville Subaru Challenge and broke the rear on the first pass! So, back to the shop, fix that and we will try it again this Sunday in Zephyrhills.

Broke the rear? Do you mean the rear suspension or the rear diff? I'm guessing you mean some piece within the suspension (having done this myself) as I don't know of anyone who has broken a rear diff...

Yup....you can break an SVX rear diff. I also took out the rear bearings in the hubs. There is alot to learn with this car. Like I said in my RS25 thread, When I got on the gas and made the first right turn, the car hopped @ 3 timesand I heard the pop....next turn was a right and it felt fine...the first left I took is when it went down hill.

I think when it bounced, it got both rear wheels spinning then came down and hooked up. Pretty sure it was that initial shosk that did it

BTW...I just got a road race style 12 pt cage for the car. The car flexes waaay too much...probably isn't helping matters.
