My trip to FL and Tail of the Dragon run in The Curse
A few new ones........
Huguenot Park:
Right before my first run on The Tail of the Dragon, and after I finally installed my 15mm spacers in the front:
More tail photos from KillBoy.com.......
I'll have video of my Tail runs later this week.....

18x8.5 +45 5x112 Miro 111's spaced 15mm square and installed with wobble nuts to accommodate the bolt pattern difference.
I use to pretty much live on that beach back in the day so I had no issues getting in and out. The only challenge was the gigantic speed humps in the paved part of the driveway, lol. The trick is to get out there just before low tide, and then leave by the time the tide is half way back in so you're still driving on the hard packed sand when you leave.

No offense.....but not a chance in hell, lol.
It's not as low as it appears in that pic. That is weight transferring to the left side of the car just after throwing her into a 90* banked hairpin at 45mph. That pic is just after the apex of the turn, and my trunk was FULL of luggage and other crap, so there was a lot of weight to transfer, lol.

And for what it's worth......Konis are well worth the money. They did EXCATLY what they are supposed to do and kept all four wheels on the road even on the tightest corners at speed.
If you're going to drive spiritedly in the twisties....do you suspension right kids!

Love what you have done! I also have to AGREE with you on the Koni's! Would like to hit up the Tail of the Dragon, looks like a blast! What perch level/dampning are you on the Koni's? Race springs, right?

Plus, like I said in a previous post I had about 200lbs. worth of shit in my trunk, so there was MUCH more weight transfer than there normally would have been, lol. But notice my passenger side rear tire isn't off the ground? Good shocks + high spring rates + low CG = all four wheels planted at all times.
