Thank you Champion & RSS
Decided to have installed all the RSS suspension components and Champion did the install along with track alignment / corner balance and brake improvements.
Yesterday had a Homestead Speedway track day. The day was brutal. Track temp > 100 degree and humidity felt like a million %.
Had 4 sessions of 30 minutes and end of the day was a 1 hour section (combined intermed. & experts).
The RS was ballz on. I've never enjoyed the car so much. Planted and surgical. I could put it anywhere. NEVER did anything squirlly. The car has never felt this good and secure. The brakes were awesome. Never felt any loss of pedal despite temps and stress.
Could go deep. The Homestead infield is technical and there were monster vettes and I'd eat them up with cornering and out-braking them.
One out of frustration tried to out brake me and went off on the corner. They could just not stay on the throttle as long going in the shutdown markers. Reeled them in everytime. There was a new RS there but drove in the novice group.
The Toyo R888 were absolutely perfect. I'm sold, Pirelli who? Plus the money savings.
A couple pics:
These bad boys were there for a race weekend from another event.
My boys can't wait to get behind the wheel. Right now they are go-karting k!llers. Today was dads day.
Once again thank you to RSS and Champion for perfectly setting up my RS.

A pic is worth ...
Not only the grip but I love the construction of the sidewalls. Impressed with the response to lateral stress.

Old man? I consider myself a "seasoned tough old bird". Though I thank you for the gesture.

Ranger,
Thanks for the nice comments, you're welcome!
We can't make these components fast enough, glad they're working out for you...
Gotta love that 'hooked up and planted' feeling especially on the track...
Thanks again,
Bryan and Team RSS
