To be honest it seems to roll more.. but in a good compliant way I'm sure Mary of David could explain better.. The body moves but the tires stay slammed to the road. We ditched the rear bar :shrug: Originally Posted by YancyJohns

Having an engine problem though.. might be t-stat related.. it's always something, but the suspension is feelin good."A ship in port is safe, but that's not what ships are built for."

It appeared in the second vid that she was able to power through that turn where she lost the back end in the first vid...maybe removing the rear bar helped the car through there?(tightened it up just enough) Originally Posted by Steve1968LS2

Got in a bit deep and trail braked, started to get some rotation which we discussed for a bit, and then Penny said "Bite Me" and snapped around. How rude ...LOL. Originally Posted by John Wright

Its that how it usually goes? Just when you think you have it all figured out the car shows you the error of your ways......usually at the worst time. Originally Posted by mpozzi

We just got back home.
A big thanks to Doug Norrdin & Co at Global West! I learned a lot about shock tuning and it was cool to see them work their Penske magic on Bad Penny! We have more lean now, but overall "stick" is better. We may be able to do further adjustments to reduce chassis lean, it's more than you see on other cars, but for now, as long as Penny is happy, I'm happy!
Oh, and Penny has a deeper "voice" now, I like it!

Thanks for letting me take her for a little spin Steve, it was a bunch of fun. Maybe I sent the thermostat running for cover!

Mary seems to like the new added body roll.. In the slalom it didn't seem to upset the car at all.. hell, the tires didn't even make noise. Originally Posted by David Pozzi
