Well, it remains to be seen how the new suspension geometry helps my Sixty. The lowering springs themselves shouldn't help or hurt. If there is a difference, it's negligible. The BMR sway bars have a "Drag" setting (tightest), but I can't really test it till I get to a track that is prepped. Going to Brainerd was fun, but I don't want to base any judgments on what I saw there. I have to get back to Steele.
