Fall/Winter Modifications

Just got back from looking at the car (yes, I am one of those that does not have the time to do it myself) at R.E.D here in Reno. The QA-1's on are on, the 17" wheels are on (centers coated black), the mufflers are in, waiting on the new headers, bushings have been changed out, glove compartment door has been shipped off to Shelby for signature, the coil overs have been replaced (10" on the rear), the springs on the front were changed to 10" will have to be put back to the 7" springs (on order). With the lower profile tires vs the 15's the car can be dropped quite a bit. Changing out the steering wheel, still looking for a quick release mount for the steering column. The idea is to set this up for the track/autoX and still have it where I can change out to the 15" wheels etc., for street use. I was surprised as to how well the 17's looked on the car, hate to admit it but it looks pretty good. Still looking for any other feed back that might be appropriate to increase the handling of the car. I visited the Bob Bondurant school in Phoenix last week, trying to schedule the 4 day class for licensing, looking to do this early in 07.

What rate springs do you have front and back to go with the QA1s?

For us people a bit north of you, a snow plow and a big heater seem to be the trick for winter.
