Suspension installed on RSC AMV8
Just finished the Suspension install, I only have a few hours of driving time with the suspension but I can definately feel a major improvement in handling and overall ride.. For as Good as the AM handles I always felt the car to be a little too stiffly sprung and certainly too high. The car now has a much better and steadier on center feel. I am planning on some track time in the next 2 weeks and I anticipate big improvements. I am also going to do a photoshoot once the new front spoiler is on next week
ENJOY!!
ENJOY!!

I'll guess these are the new Springs (H&R) that you have talked about ?
20" wheels - no spacers ?
QuickSilver Sport + exhaust ? (yeah I know but some how that makes it handle better too !)

They are the new springs...
NO spacers on the 360 Forged wheel set up
on the Exhaust; yes if you lose 40+ pounds off the back of the car should result in better handling

HZ - OK it has been over 2 weeks since you layed the tease out there ... what is the scoop on the suspension and the track ??? Not like we are waiting ... and what is up w/ that new Cargraphic exhaust ? Did that catch you by surprise .. "interesting" design still using the "flaps" ... your take ?

I would never tease my brothers 
.. Timing is the issue, We never made it to the track but I got a good amount of seat time to get a good impression of the set up and yes... it improves nearly every aspect of the cars handling characteristics. The car is apart right now awaiting a few go fast parts, but I will be sure to get some legitimate driving done...The car should be back together by the end of next week... take a road trip michael I'll have it washed and gassed up for you
Yes I saw the exhaust.. Looks nice, Each manufacturer has its own theories and aprroach for design..

Michael Invite is open anytime... The final touches are being done next week ... so we are all very excited... this car is turning out to be a rewarding project... Good luck in Canada and I think because you are American you can drive at 1.5 the posted speed limit
