No I'm quite satisfied with my Canucks great hamdling in general and handled well at Watkins Glenn old road course this past Sept. ( road closed for vintage car rally) no nose dive into turns on the brakes , no wiggle on exit of turn wot, they felt great. now if I can just get a TTR sway bar under it for next April

Anyone else here switch from canucks to the yyz?
i know you've been in contact with him, he copied me on the email.

on another site, can't say it on here because it'll get blanked out, he did say that running stock FE5 struts & shocks is perfectly fine for daily driving. he highly recommended, at minimum, Koni rear shocks for those who track their vehicle.

i'm going to highly recommend a Powell Race Shop rear sway bar. it's better quality and won't rust.

yea he was mentioning a v2, won't have the same quality ride & performance iirc. they'll be for the people who want to be low & slow.

i don't track my SS..... only that one "track experience" thing i did a few months ago. i just prefer a much smoother ride than stock with amazing handling. plus the speedbumps in my neighbor suck.
