Message	As we all know, getting a suspension right is not a simple process. There are aging spring issues, rear subframe bushing wear (not to mention a rear subframe that floats to some degree), tire/wheel combinations, sway bar connections, and last but not least learning how to drive and apply the throttle. Add to this that I'm trying to get this right in the colder part of winter...doesn't help. I've experienced the gamut: tire spin, wheel hop, clutch issues ( but now have a new RPS max street). Now I know why high priced sportscar builders spend so much time on suspensions, and why drivers spend so much time learning how to drive.
