But what you aren't getting is that if your off with the proper set up, you can easily end up in the ditch--dodging some kid chasing a ball into the street, dodging an animal, motorcycle, texting driver-----

These cars aren't BMW, Mersedes or even Chrysler 300s---- they are like playing Russian Roulette with 5 rounds in the magazine and the street is the most unpredictable place to be with them--on track is much more predictable.

But mechanical and maintenance work needs to be done properly and according to a standard that is fitting to the vehicle---any car under 3000 lbs , with 600 hp-----

If you have access to the scales, you owe it to yourself to set your coilovers based on the weights. It's easy. And you can't break anything. And if you remember to put the weight simulating you in the driver's seat there's only one way you can do it wrong and that's by forgetting to loosen your sway bars. There's really no reason not to try it. There is absolutely no downside and you can take as long as you want while doing it.
