Well we're getting back to normal. For the IRS questions, '98 - 08 Crown Vics, Mk IV, had IRS, but not in all cars. some had solid axle /multi link. The center carrier is the same 8.8 as the cobra, but the lower arms are wider, so I prefer the Crown Vic. On the mercedes, the center cap of the wheel is a spinner, and it is wieghted on the bottom, so when the car drives past, the emblem stays still. Too cool. pleasonton Good-Guys this weekend is the last auto-x of the season for us. Looks like hotchkis is sending out the whole stable of trucks to try and beat us. Should be a fun weekend. Rob Phillips had the new Hotchkis TVS kit on his truck at the Optima Challenge, and it was working great, Horsepower played a big part in the track layout, and this favored his c-10. He beat me at the autocross by .02 sec, and a full 2 sec faster on the road coarse. So, if you plan to go to a big coarse don't forget the horsepower.
