Now there's an idea. I like your style.
Jeff wong a proparts use does have shocks he has made for his and will make you some.

MCS also has some shocks they can make our cars AS or FS legal.

Personally I don't know If I want shocks until the brake issues are taken care of, I feel like it will just increase the issue but thats just me, no data tp support that.

Yeah, I had the pleasure of driving one a few years ago and, while I heard that they were a great car and easy to drive, I had no idea to the level of what those who knew were speaking of...….those cars are extremely well mannered.

The balance and weight really helps those cars a ton, which in turn helps them in transitions and braking. I gave strong consideration in getting one but, with 2 teenagers, I just couldn't afford the cost if it were to break......as they are also known to be a little more fragile.

I can only hope and pray that is not the case......like the 4th gen and wheel hop - you had to drive around it or use the clutch during hard braking - you could not tune it out with shocks in a F-Stock car

Depending on what specifically the computer "sees" to drive that, hopefully adjustable shocks and bar can provide a "band-aid" to minimize some of the issue.....but I agree that it will not be a fix, in my opinion.

With the shocks i assume its all in how you set it up. you might end up just tuning the shocks to minimize the ice mode! All depends on what the computer sees like you said!

Earlier this season at a TnT I had put 5 or 6 runs in my 15' SS 1LE that was fully set up for auto-x and then hopped into a bone stock M3, down to the tires (Michelin PSS's) and matched the Camaro's best time, they really are very good cars. But after I had my last BMW catch on fire on me at an autocross (335) I vowed to never buy another BMW again

Dec Fastrack is out, SAC recommends SS 1LE, Mustang Gt350, Mustang GT PP2 to B Street.

Also, looking for feedback to move M3 BMW (E9x) to B Street

Yep! If you feel this is a good choice as I do make sure you write your letters. Mainly on the m3 move since the 1le move is all but set!

The m3 move to bs is out for member comment.

So, it looks like I can buy some BS magnets? And, whoa, moved that 4cylinder 1le into ds as well? That surprises me.

Right, most likely 2020, as the SEB would have to get it as a bulletin, not a proposal, ASAP. If it’s not a bulletin before end of year, it’ll be fine reginally, but not OK nationally until 2020.
