Re: 5KTQ Suspension

[Alexei M Voloshin <Alexei.M.Voloshin-1@tc.umn.edu>]

Don't know how your car drives now, but the stock car can take 50-55MPH 
around clover leaf with zero lean and tire squealing (assuming one has 
good tires). Ride is very smooth, but push the car hard and it responds 
well. Much better road control at 100MPH and at 60. (not that I ever 
drive that fast... :-O)

Hope this helps.
