I really like the new Bilsteins. Very predictable weight transfer, good grip, and nice ride-height. Currently riding about 40mm\u00a0lower than stock in the back and 50mm\u00a0lower than stock in the front. Could go another 10mm lower but don&#8217;t see the need currently. \u00a0(Interestingly, the current height is\u00a020mm\u00a0lower than H&amp;R Sport Springs on Konis.) The car isn&#8217;t slammed and the tires aren&#8217;t rubbing, but it is fairly low. I did have to not use the 5mm spacers I normally run on the street to avoid rubbing the rear arches (the wheels are 17 x7 with offset 37.)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gcomotorsports.com\/specr53\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/FullSizeRender_2.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1724\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-1724\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gcomotorsports.com\/specr53\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/FullSizeRender_2-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Cornering\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gcomotorsports.com\/specr53\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/FullSizeRender.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1725\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-1725\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gcomotorsports.com\/specr53\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/FullSizeRender-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Under Braking\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gcomotorsports.com\/specr53\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_0203-e1460473267432.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1726\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-1726\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gcomotorsports.com\/specr53\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_0203-e1460473267432-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Cletus\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a lap I filmed behind a student.<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KCU5ETiKo2E\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had the MINI at Summit Point this past weekend on the extended Jefferson circuit and it ran great.
