SPF Suspension to do order

[Jim Vander Wal]

I agree w/ Blas on most things, won't change this time.

Rear shock mounts can be enhanced using the factory pieces and creativity or with the R/T mounts. The R/T mounts are very well done.

The factory issued roll bar is decorative. Please at least replace the pop rivet with a bolt as Blas suggested. Most tracks overlook the broomstick test as most of these cars won't pass.

Many change shocks and sway bars for additional control and adjustment.

Fresh ball joints & tie rod ends should help with shimmy but there may be more to it.

Tracking is fun but don't forget the maintenance, lube, BRAKE FLUID, brake pads, tires.

I found that a proper seat that holds you in place made the most difference. Otherwise you're using the steering wheel as a grab bar rather than steering the car.

A 5-point harness is good as it will keep the lap belt better positioned. It must be across your hips, not your gut. The SPF seats as a rule won't let the belts wrap around your hips as they should. Not the end of the world but you're going to slide in the seat, at least you will if you're a skinny guy.
