Default Before and after suspension pics at VIR.

before (turn 1) stock suspension:



After, same turn with RS-R/koni/hotchkiss sways:



The first pic is angled a little bit so the body roll would be more if it was level. Thought it was pretty cool.

Not sure, I was in 3rd gear, maybe around 3-4k? John might know.

I'm always too busy trying to stay out of the grass to look at the speedo.

I don't think the first pic is turn one... notice the buildings in the background... where are they in the second pic? More likely the first pic is turn 5 (the first of the two right handers before the left leading onto the bridge straight.

And on second look at the second pic, I think its 11A, right before going into Oak Tree

Very cool pics though

Yeah you might be right.

I didnt really look at it, I just always remember seeing the camera guy close to turn 1, so I figured thats where it was from.

Def doesn't look like the same turn. Plus given a much wider turn at lower speeds due to the wet conditions...not really a very good comparison, even it if was the same turn. Cool looking pics nonetheless...

the first pic looks like its turn 3 with the concession area behind and paddock behing that. I agree the other pic looks like Oak Tree.

You need to do it in the dry for a real comparison. If the car slips at all in the wet, you will show less body roll
