    I read your post about the sway bar set up which was helpful. It looks like you have really researched the handling possibilities for these cars. My question is….I have the 15 inch rims on the car with the BFG’s the car came with (Superformance). I have had the car on the track many times and at this point the tires appear to have maybe “burned”. They tires are hard as stones and the car is just very scary and unpredictable at speed. I am not going back on the track or even an auto cross until I have made some changes.
    Do you think there is a decent tire I can get for a 15 inch rim or should I just bite the bullet and get some 17’s? What 15 inch tire would you recommend?
    The car spends most of the time on the street but I go to the tract once every 6 months or so.

    Sinking it is not the problem. Getting it back to the surface is the important part.

    I just stand up and step out. In fact, that's the only way I can get out. If it had a top they would have to bring me food and a bed pan.:o

    It's better than a 4 X 8 sheet of plywood, but not by much.
