So a little background info of how this happened. Hot Import Nights, Los Angeles, fellow Garage Life teammate Chris Forsberg and his long-time friend Tony Angelo convinced me that the very next day, I should bring my show queen to a private drift event to "test" it out. My thoughts were "UHHHHHHHH, WHAT?"
Anyway, after my brain kept saying "Don't do it," I decided to agree to meet them at nice old Fontucky. Fast forward to the pictures... 
Although my car wasn't set up right, Tony (an aspiring D1 driver) drove the car really well! In the second picture, you can see how talented he is and you can also see Chris (our fellow TopicsII) catching up to me on the turns in his beast. Anyway, all I can say is I have new plans for my car and I'll be setting up the suspension for DRIFT real soon! Thanks Chris and Tony!
I know there are more pictures and some videos, but I have to get them from our friend and upload them onto my server. Stay tuned! Btw, Garage Life is a car show team that has basically won almost all shows this past year that we attend. Proud to be a member!

Yep! These are the Zeals. The first pic is when we had it on the highest setting. The second one earlier in the day before I realized I was on my pansy every day driving setting... which is the lowest. 
We're still changing out the springs to make the baddest setup we can work with. I need lots of other suspension parts too. So much fun, yet so much work.

Brian,
The car looked great out there! Tony really showed us what it can do!
I wanted to go out with those guys, but wasn't confident enough, so figured it better not to mess up your nice car
Hope to see you at more of these events...DD14 is right around the corner!
by the way I was in the "stock" CS Track model Z

Hey, good to see you on the forums! Yeah, Tony definitely was struggling with my grip setup and next time, we should have it ready to go with a drift setup. I don't know when DD14 is but I don't think I'll bring it out unless I have a couple more suspension partsss. My camber's way too crazy for any more drifting as is.
See you next time!
See you next time!

Mofoz - move over. 
The springs are stiff enough for every day driving and competing on tracks and autocross, but when you shift your weight from one side to the other in an instant, you need a little more control.
They'll still be Zeal springs as they can make any setup you like with their inventory.
