I do understand that they are better. But for a DD looking for a drop in height, I don’t think they are the best investment (hence the Eibach Sportlines on my car. It is clearly not a track car, just a car I have fun auto Xing. Not looking to be national champ. $220 shippped\>\>\>\>\>\>\>\>\>\>\> $1,400 for teins for my car 🙂 ).

Alright, then you’ve figured it out for yourself. Just keep the car clean, I don’t want to see any overthetop stickers on this or underglow shits, alright? 😃

First its the turn coming from troy (alt rt 7) onto northway south (also connects to the onramp for exit 6)

im not getting started on this, i dont know y i get thrown in under the bus. its my favorite turn, i take it just abuot every night. only in the summer when its not wet/ NO traffic do i even attempt it. (slower speed when entering then gets up to)92 around the first turn/(again) 88 to speed limit (115) outta the second turn. i have about 3 different witness’s not to brag at all. just saying. I know my cars limits and when/not to push them. Dont bother responding to this, i will simply ignore it. the quote was a random one i selected so dont get affended, nothing towards you. Again, its already 8 pages long if you need to talk OT, make a thread in battlefield. this is getting split as soon as singh gets off his lazy half indain ass and does it.:rolleyes:

Sorry for continuing OT but this interested me.

The first turn looks to be about a 500-600 ft radius, second turn is closer to 600 ft.

Assuming a radius of 550 ft, taking the turn at 90 mph would require that your car be able to achieve about 0.98 G. (Rough calculation and assuming local gravitational acceleration constant @ sea level)

Seems doable on street tires with a good setup…

Interesting thing is, just going up 10 mph to take the turn at a constant 100 mph would require a car capable of 1.2 G lateral acceleration (assuming radius above).

I do not believe your car can accelerate to 115 in the distance between those two corners.

You’ve lied before why would we believe you now?
