The Bean

The shocks feel great. We competed in an SCCA road rally this weekend, and the "float" and bouncing in the front end are greatly reduced. I'm sure some more shock tuning will continue to improve things. Right now I am running compression:10 rebound:14. 

That being said, the front certainly still needs a sway bar. The shocks feel much better, but aren't a replacement for the missing sway bar. I'm debating using a mustang ii, TCI mustang ii, or splined bar for the front. The mustang ii option shown on a previous page is certainly the easiest, but weighs a ton.

Here are a couple pictures from a wild weekend camping near the Salton Sea.

The car ran great, and we were able to improve the timing table and acceleration enrichment tuning while bombing through the canyons. These tires are a night and day difference from the old all seasons. A rough estimation of mpg came out to 16.5. Could be worse!
