[6pack] Race Car Quandry

[Dale]

Bob
Have you looked into the coilovers that Tony from Ratco sell? 
With that
said I don't know if you would run into a more servere bump stop problem.
I
have his setup on my driver because I have never liked the idea of the shock
on the trailing arm so far out.
I have seen the result in another TR6 when the
shock on the arm breaks.
Just a thought.  Dale

Note - these
tires are insanely sticky. I pick up 1/2 pound of gravel 
driving around the
paddock on each tire when they are warm/hot.

So we could be just seeing a
combo of very high CoF and higher than usual 
bending moments... it's possible
the ding on the driver's side was a piece 
of the casting breaking away, but
I'm pretty sure that's not the case.
