Default first impressions of new Pfadt comp sways

Here is my first lap with new PFADT comp sways, pillow blocks, and PFADT sport shocks set at 12 I really need to learn to not talk to myself while I drive on the track the difference was big! the car is on Hankook street tires, can't wait to run it with proper tires.

Good post, but can you post some before and after lap times for quantative comparison?

The last day before install was on the east track at miller and this was on the west, but the car was definitely much flatter in the corners and I was able to get the power down much sooner going though the apex. I just thought that my verbal reaction to the improvement was pretty funny so I posted it up.

How were the hankook tires by the way. If I keep with the street tires for one more set before some Rcomps wondered how they held up to some track abuse?

pretty good really they were the RS2s now discontinued, but they had 6 track days before I put a flat spot in my front right coming into turn 5 at Miller this weekend running with the Porsche club. They were still at half tread. Ran a 3:26 on the full 4.3 mile track not bad for street tires on a open day.
