Someone caught a pic of me driving w/ Chike in the car at the Subaru Callenge. My rears are at 1/2" lower than stock and my front is 1" off from stock but I still have 2"+ to go lower in the front?? Also, check out my body roll pic, seems like you are getting a bit more than I

Mine is Canadian. I get weight savings from the lack of an alarm...and no I don't have heated seats.

The seatbelts followed the same pattern as the US SVX's

Yeah, that's it...plus I'm going to have to assume my tires are a little bit stickier than yours.

Think bigger front sway bar!! (and larger rear bar, while you're at it...)
-Bill

Look, Ma.....just the right amount of body lean

You still got plenty of lean there Bill BUT in realilty too little lean will slow you down just as much as not enough. You need some give there otherwise it all goes to the tire and tires are not real forgiving when they go. In a perfect world in which you can put on 11 inch wide rims and wheels it isn't an issue but in the real world its better for the body to give then for the tires to go. Look how easy it is to put formula Vs and Fords into a spin. Much of that has to do with lack of roll.

Ben,
Good point...I think "Bill-Stock" is at the "just enough" lean point now
-Bill
p.s. putting GCs on it would probably put it over the top, which means I'd have to back off on the size of the bars to balance the overall loading on each corner. I've got the calculations around here somewhere, but I seem to remember that my "Mychailo springs/custom sway bar/Koni" mix provides around the same wheel loading as the "GC/stock sway bar/Koni" mix that Porter was running (maybe a little stiffer?). Maybe Mychailo can help out here, as he did the calculations
