The problem im having is, the suspension is still too cushy like an off roader. WTF? Has anyone converted their's? Tips? What can I do to stiffen things up a bit to carve corners better? Suggestions?
Mostly its probably the springs that is the problem. OffRoad springs are just way to soft. I suggest getting a full set of GT shocks and springs. This will stiffen things up.
