To really drive your car you need to know it's limits. The best way to do that is at an SCCA Solo2. You drive around a parking lot with the race track marked by rubber cones. When you really push it and the tires start to slide, you learn very quickly what your car needs. After a bunch of these, I ended up completely rebuilding the Jag rear end with a 3/4" sway bar. On the front, I have a 1 1/4" sway bar. With the right springs, I can now go into a curve much faster and slide the speed off and drift onto the next straight. I knocked down a lot of cones and bought a lot of tires learning to do that right. But, I do have an SCCA Championship trophy on my shelf.

I highly recommend the learning experience!
