Yes Tig I didn't like how it loaded the rear either, those 90/10's are history, already spoke to John about that. If his tyre guage (old metal type!!) was correct we already had 16psi in them, we would be getting into radial pressures soon with a Bias tyre?, we gotta make the best with what we got, but he will change shocks and I don't think we want to hit the tyre any harder without a shock that will handle the rebound which we don't have now. I asked him about lowering the car, its no no at the moment. And yes it looks like its topping those shocks and unloading the tyres to a degree. Lots to correct but encouraging day none the less.
