Default the joy of a curvy road

This afternoon, got out of work early, set my tein ss dampers over to the 12 mark, they "raciest" setting they say, and took my car out
for a spin.

Near where i live ther is a hilly and curvy roead that snakes through a golf coursem hardley any road traffic, occasiona golf cart to dodge!!

I would say this road goes for about 3/4 of a mile.

This was the first real time that i have pushed the car hard with the new wheels and the lowered set up . Man it was fun, i was pushing around twisty corners upwards of 45 to 50 mph, had the auto tranny in second so it was screaming a little!!. so were the tires, but man they held on well. I did notice that leather seats are not the best suited for this kinda of driving thought LOL.

significanlty less body roll and sway over stock, i could not be more pleased with the tein ss dampers thus far. i had a noce **** eatring grin on when i got done.

by the time i add the front and rear stability bars i think i will be pretty satisified with the road hugging capabilities of my car.


it makes me wonder just how good the full tein racing suspension set ups must be hmmm...

so guys, where are your favourate roads, where yuo can let in hang out a little.

nice,
here in north jersey where i live we have some nice back roads, but troopers are eveywhere on the highways, like everywhere else i guess, what i need to do is find a track close by and do this stuff legally and yet, there is the added thrill of the open road man!!
what are you drivng?
