If you want a more aggressive turn in, then yes, but it might feel twitchy to you. That's just how I like my cars to handle. Most people who try driving my cars want to turn the expo on to "chill" them a bit. I set up my airplanes the same way...so I don't really have to move the controls much at all

Yup! That's me sneaking by my former Arch Nemisis. He's a 15+ year veteran racer of several on and off road classes, and has become a good friend. I was so proud to beat him, and thrilled that it was caught on tape...that it became my avatar. I was driving a Pro 4 and he had a JRXS, in a 19T touring class. Sadly, that track was recently shut down forever...

So since a guy can't find composite shoes to save his life... what's a good aluminum shoe and spring combination to run outside? I'll be running an OS VSpec if that helps. I know horizon is planning on mid april, but I'm trying to plan for not having them just in case their wrong.
