The car has 96k miles and I just picked it up. I think the rear bushings and shocks are just really tired.

The stock suspension was very “floaty” but mine was not PP1 when I got it. Not sure if that makes a huge difference but I would change them out and see how you feel then. I don’t think any of the ford oe suspension is suited for track driving unless it’s magneride. I could be wrong

Agreed! I’ll take any recommendation from Tony straight to the drawing board. I even started looking at a Miata when I got home @Tonymustang302

Im telling you, i lost 4 seconds off my time after 1 day with my z3. It teaches you momentum

I don’t have one booked currently! I can see if I can squeeze into RA this Saturday though!

Heavily debating a light amount of boost 7-8psi on 93 ~650-750 to the wheels is the goal.

Started stripping down the interior, but I cannot decide on what seat I want instead of the fronts. Ordering light weight front and rear bumper bars today, and possibly new clutch & k member. Vengeance Stage 2 has been recommended several times.

Also finally changed pads to GLoc R12s. Originally ordered R12/R10 but the R10 rear shipment didn’t get delivered to OP in time for my last session. He offered to send 12 for the rear and I loved them on track at Road America.

Blackhawk Farms on Sunday with a few guys and @Tonymustang302 pup! First time there so I expect to be slow as hell, especially because I can’t find a quality track download for the racing sim to familiarize myself
