Once you have time to correct the front end geometry, move the roll center & add caster ... the front end will have more grip, and that is when we'll see a noticeable lap time improvement.

      I'm back from my quad trip, so I can answer questions if you have any.

      We went on an epic 7-1/2 hour quad ride up several mountains in the Sierra Mountains in Nevada & California. From 7000' to 11,700' through a wide variety of rough terrain, rocks, creeks, broken shale. My wife flipped over once, but was OK. She's a sweet, but tough gal. We saw breath taking scenery on several mountaintops looking out over the range, went partway into old gold mines that were caved in, rock & wood cabins where miners lived. We were all worn out from the ride.


      Yeah I know, I thought about just putting the LCAs (with stock ball joints) and the spring adjusters in by themselves, then going back after next weekend to finish everything else up but I really dislike doing things twice, especially when coil springs under pressure is involved. If everything would have went perfectly smooth, I might have got it all in last weekend, but that wasn't meant to be.

      Besides, the weather was perfect here for a boat ride and just like yourself on the ATVs, sometimes you just have to get away and play for a while instead.

      We can always work on the car when it's raining...right?
