Since you have to run stock springs are you running the stock track pack springs (red) or just the regular sports springs that come standard on the exige (black i think)? I am using aftermarket sway bar with nitron shock and springs and would think the car's performance would really suffer if i went back to stock springs/roll bar b/c of WAY too much body roll. What shocks are you using? Do you use bump stops with the shocks to help the stock springs then? Are you guys using an aftermarket sway bar? Also, and maybe most importantly, what did you find was the optimal ride height/rake for the stock springs? Sorry for all the questions but would think using a stock setup would be very challenging. Sounds like you guys figured out how to control the roll somehow though if you set track record.
Thanks and congrats!

Hi Jack, Suspension development has a long way to go. We really need to work on it. The track record was due to a great power to weight ratio relative to the T2 cars of the past. But we can do better! Our goal is to better develop a combo of Nitron's and best factory springs for the job. PM me your email and I'll keep you in the loop as we figure it all out. For LCS events, I'll go back to normal Nitrons and springs though... much more fun.
