I've only driven it once in my rx7 with a stock mushy suspension, what is the condition of the road?

Cool

Alright, here are my pics The first 8 or 9 images were shot using a 200 iso setting so they're kinda grainy. I didn't realize it till after I took a bunch of pics.

Where we met up. It was early



Things got off to a slow start. Salmon Falls Rd. was clear but we barely missed the light turning on to it and this truck got in front of us



At the gas station in Forest Hill. It had a very clean bathroom until I showed up:





Got my new springs on. The car didn't get dropped much but the handling is awesome!:





At the lookout:







Yummy!



Cale reppin i-club:



Up at the top. Cale had the tires to keep going, Mike and me did not:







Old busted *** vehicles not recommended:



MMMMM, lunch time at Islands. Hula burger kicks ***!



Then off to DBTuned! Ricks headphones are cool:





Today was awesome. My car handled incredibly well. I much prefer the wagon to the sedan for this kind of driving.

If you turn off the foggies you get at least 3.7E-9 extra HP to the wheels.
