Car is low and handles about as flat as you could ask. Enough so that I can tell the difference with the fuel load.

I've been busy with other projects the past few days, so just getting to this thread. Yes, his car does stay very flat in corners, however, it's also very stiff over bumps. It also sits very low, as 22" at the front fenders would suggest. The Vons shocks should ameliorate the street stiffness somewhat, but we won't know until he gets his engine back into the car and we can drive it. Once the car is back together, we can figure out how much travel the shocks have before hitting the bump stops.

Cars are for driving. If you want art, get something you can hang on the wall!
