it actually doesn't ride bad for how stiff the springs are. 
Coilovers work wonders for the ride quality.

Where did you end up for ride height, ground to top of wheel arch?

A win is a win. I run with a pair of FF cobras in BP. Sometimes only one or neither of them show up...

Thanks guys.  I just wish the car had run better.  Its hard to judge how a cars going to behave with full power when its only making about 90hp, lol.  I will say that yes it is very different from the red bird.  First turn I put it in, it definately did not roll at all!  I have to figure out just how to drive this car since I had been using the body roll to my advantage before!
