It means a lot to finally get some positive comments on the setup (thanks a lot panel and sandeep and every one else for the encouragement). Especially when spending so much money on them. In pictures is one thing, in real life, they are rediculous. I know that the unspung weight may be a slight problem with the suspension "quickness" and accuracy, I just can't help but to think that i won't even notice. My friend and i built up a 90' C2 and going from 298mm rotors with big blacks to 6 piston brembo's with 355mm rotors, I have nothing but positive things to say about the setup. Identical suspension, and the car handles just as well. According to bilstein, the only time you'll notice a differance is when you are hard core cup racing. Not only on the weekends, i'm talkin' suspension dyno's, exact spring rates and custom valve jobs for the specific weight with the driver and amount of fuel.

I just can't wait to see these brakes behind my open 10 spoke wheels.

Wish me luck guys, this is the 1st step in a long, long road. I've got a bet going with some friends and family going that i can't finish the car by June 15th of 2006. Of coarse the bug will never be done, but at least for the 1st time around.
