The car is still very comfortable on long road trips, and my wife is happy to ride along on long road trips. I have put over 40,000 miles on it since then. It steers like it is laser perfect, and can read my mind.

I did do a full alignment and corner balance after the suspension work. Oh, and it is at stock European ride height. Any lower makes it too hard to get up and down my driveway or parking lots with any ramp at all.

In my mind, it is the perfect setup for a street car and occasional autocross car.
Same, elephant rubber, 21/27 new bars, 20/18 sways, HD's, PMB calipers, new discs, air to center of discs, bearings, QuIfe quick rack, 915 is out for refresh/upgrade. Will corner weight at euro height. Bone stock 2.7 with M&K sport.
Be careful of slippery slope my 74 has been off the road for 6 years.
Regards,
chris
