I was inquiring if Adam was insufficiently acquainted with said steering wheel to participate in an autocross even. This statement was inferring that Adamā€™s Ford Mustang was not ā€œset upā€, if you will, to perform well upon roads that incorporate curves, bends, turns, etc. ---

I thought all my fenders were rolled, but like an idiot I never checked the rears, and sure enough, they arenā€™t. So, Iā€™m now the proud owner of a fender lip roller that is currently somewhere between South Bend, IN and North Bethlehem, NY. The other issue is spring rates. National class Evos who run that wheel/tire setup are running spring rates of 12Kg front & 16Kg rear, while I believe mine are 8Kg/11Kg. I didnā€™t want insanely stiff springs because I knew theyā€™d never mix well with our non-concrete runway smooth venues here. So since my suspension actually has motion in itā€¦ All was great until I got into the bottom half of the course. I heard one ā€œbang!ā€ and thought ā€œwhat the hell was that?ā€, but all seemed normal going into the turn around. Then as I motored back up towards the finish, it sounded like my Mitsubishi was taking fire from [Pappy Boyington](http://www.acepilots.com/usmc_boyington.html) from Black Sheep Squadron. ![http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3382/3483991375_09fcc03967_o.jpg](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3382/3483991375_09fcc03967_o.jpg) At that point I figured Iā€™d ripped a swaybar mount out or something, but it was the 285s getting hung on the rear lips when the suspension decompressed, pulling the rear lips down and making them nice and wavy. The tires look like they are ok, but the right side rear lip feels like it began to separate. Oh well, the carā€™s 6 yrs old and bound for track duty eventually anyway. ---

What car were you driving? Personally I think you get more out of mods if you buy them after you have exceeded the potential in the stock equipment. Especially with something like coilovers which have multiple adjustments it is easy to make the suspension handle worse than it did stock. Just something to think about before you blow $1k+. ---

The wife just came home and said ā€œwhatā€™s that big box in the garage?ā€, which turned out to be said roller. That was fast - I ordered it yesterday around noon from Tire Rack. It might be available for rent once Iā€™m done with it.
