Rear suspension upgrades are important
For handling on the street, this is another picture as to why it's so important to make improvements to the rear suspension. At the point the photographer took this picture, I'm hitting the apex of the corner AND on the throttle. I know it looks like i'm on the brake, but that's not the case here. This car has a ton of articulation in the rear. What's going on is that the road has a dip there for drainage. Cornering with 315 A6s makes your car corner H A R D !!!! I cannot explain it but you can see it. So even under acceleration, the rear will move freely and keep the tires planted. Unless, of course, you're too hard on the throttle. Then, you'll be sideways, hehe. Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FB2Q...=youtube_gdata At 1:00, I'm approaching turn 6 at 130mph. At 1:10 is the moment I'm at the apex where the picture was taken. You can hear that I'm on the throttle.

That is sick, what is your rear suspension set up?

Re: Rear suspension upgrades are important
Hey, Nekasrof
Random question. Is that masking tape on the headlights? If so, why?
