Hey like I always say if we all did the same work this world would be boring. I for one enjoy making power with a car that handles decent. It does not have to be perfect just somting that rides ok. My car has and always will have a low drop. It's part of what I like. Does it handle well enough to take on a road course probably not but, I am promise I can still take it out and have fun. I am a drag racer. I prefer it over going in circles.
As for the brakes I am with you 100%. A person who builds a car for speed who trusts stock brakes is a brave man. I ran NX2K brakes up front with Maxima rears with a altima master and stainless lines. I just recently upgraded to Wilwood front brakes this past Summer.
BTW Shawn I bolded the section that made me LOL!

And that's the way it should be for a novice.
Louis this sounds like a strong opinion to me. I recently did my first AutoX this past Summer. It was fun but, honestly not my can of worms. I prefer drag racing. I have yet to run on a road course. I am pretty sure that should be a blast. I hope to try it out someday. It may change my mind but, for now GC's with AGX's a a progress rear sway bar is fine for me.

I honestly do not feel that my car for one handles horrible. Is it a road race prepped car? No but, it rides decent for my likings.
I also agree on the daily driver thing. My car has not been daily driven for over 6 years now. It is a toy that spends most of its time in a garage.
Gang I am not bashing guys who like nice ridding cars. More power to them. I just find it kind of messed up when someone posts somthing and people are quick to jump on their case about how ****ty their suspension is. Remember we may not all have them same definition to what ****ty is or what good is.
For example. I like a car that looks good and runs like a raped ape and other like car that handles on rails.
Please don't take my comments to heart. This is a just a friendly debate.
