Man! is that squat, or do you have the car lowered? Any closer to the ground and you'd have lost some fiberglass.

You still have another 2 inches to lower it in the front. You did make me feel better though about our suspension as you're running the GC Koni's right? Definately still got quite a bit of roll up front (not that its a bad thing) What size tires are those? Look pretty meaty.

Great PICS, Dave.
BTW, I haven't had a chance to get back you your site to try to upload the videos yet. Hope to tonight. Harry

No I think the front is low enough already for a daily driver
The tires are just the OEM size Yoko AVS db S2 (not exactly an autox tire) plus they are probably 80% worn. There's very little squat and the suspension height is at the lowest setting with front struts 1/2 turn from full stiff. Attached is a pic of my car standing still (for comparison)

Its amazing how much it leans even with the GC springs.

Anyone know the rate at which springs tend to weaken?
My results from the autox are here: http://www.wpg-autox.org/perl/autox/...gi?event_id=15 I was driving the "Somethin" with a best time of 57.423. (I was late to register) I could have done better but I guess I'm just not aggressive enough. I did let the guy with the 4th fastest time of the day take my car around the track with me in it. He was about 1.2 seconds faster than me. After that he took me around once in his CSS Miata...yikes! I felt the same way I did when Chris took me for a ride in his SVX when I was in Boise.

Pics looking good.
Looking an SVX with daytime running in the pic is one of my first times. Did you get your SVX from US had it converted? You have auto seatbelt and all 92 canadian cars have auto seatbelt as well?
