For those who have not seen my posts from "old" forums, just a quick note on this setup. I've had it for over a month now, and all I can say is that it is killer!

I have now competed in two SCCA autocrosses in Street Touring and my times are consistenntly 3-4 seconds better than they would have been on a comparable course prior to mods. How can I tell -- comparatively simple analysis of the one guy who ran constantly a tenth of a second faster than me prior, is now that marginal slower. I had many, many comments this past weekend, two of them from noncompeting SVT owners on how well the car is tracking and handling now. Understeer is essentially gone (if any left, so slight as to not be noticable in the heat of competition.) Also, the whole package has seemingly greatly reduced torque steer, at least under autoX conditions. I'll hopefully also be testing it out at MidOhio in Oct. for a NASA event there , so should have some feedback on road course application.

Bottom line: A great setup -- if you don't have an Aussie or ability to get one, the readily available alternative ain't that bad from the Florida distributor. Particularly, Terry's assembled units are a great deal. Should cut down labor immensely, whether having a shop do it or DIY.

As far as I am concerned, this is the way to go.
