The 2009 season is here and the car is running well!  The first two races of the year were a blast, but I'm still learning the car.

I thought there was still too much body roll, so I upgraded the sway bars to a set from Suspension Techniques (www.twosrus.com).  I am very happy with the change in handling! The car transistions much better, the early lockup on the front brakes is less, and the ride is still perfectly acceptible. I have to fine-tune them a bit, but they definetaly make a big difference.  Next up are some brake upgrades, and some exhaust upgrades I hope.
