No mention if you re-aligned the car or if you also put the alignment completely out of whack.

Somewhere a BMW suspension engineer just pulled out the last of his hair.

No. Even better, I figured that the 1M sub forum has become stale. So I figured I would go out of my way just to piss you off.

But while we are on the subject, Mr. Race Car Driver, I am well aware that my "ring" time may have suffered a few seconds, but since we cannot all be the Stig, I figure for everyday driving my car now makes me happy as well as the other 12 or so people that agree so far, but to each there own, you go late apexing. I'm sure you are extremely versed at threshold braking.

And btw, rubbing's racing lol.
