A big thanks to Champion & RSS

I had installed all the RSS suspension components by Champion Motorsport on my RS. Champion also did the track alignment / corner balance and brake improvements.
The day at Homestead Speedway was brutal. Track temps > 100 degree and humidity off the charts.
Ran 4 sessions of 30 minutes and last session was 1 hr. (combined intermed / expert). The RS was bullet-proof. Handling was surgical and never did anything squirlly under stress. I could but it anywhere, planted and confident. $h!t made me look good.
The brakes were unbelieveable. NEVER a hint of fade. Pedal felt solid. Could go deep beyond 200' shutdown markers. Vettes with monster power on such a technical infield as Homestead would be reeled in under braking and cornering. On guy (pride issue) tried to stay in the throttle to match me and went off the corner.

A few pics:







My boys can't wait to come of age to get behind the wheel. Right now they are go-karting beasts. Karting k!llers, fearless but today was dads day.

Oh btw the Toyo R888's were awesome. Pirelli who? Plus the money savings. The night before the wife and I went to dinner in the RS under a savage downpour and the Toyos were just fine at highway speeds.

Again thanks to RSS and your components and Champion for a perfect set up.

Great products and those that know what to do with them. The alignment set up and lowering were ballz on.

Juan, is that a carbon vinyl on the roof or full carbon fiber roof? Either way looks awesome!

It's a CF wrap. Only comes in a matte look. Made by 3M Di-NOC.
I want to do the hood but this material comes in many lengths but only in 48" widths. So can't cover the entire hood surface with one piece without a seam.

Glad you were happy with the results Ranger. It was a pleasure having your car around for a few days.

If anyone's interested in the setup we installed on Ranger's car, feel free to give us a buzz anytime!
