I drove that car once in 2011 at Sonoma. I can't believe it's still around! It rained all day Saturday and we had no wiper ARMS (let alone blades). On Sunday, the poor handling was truly revealed. It felt like a ton of toe-out and a sticking caliper (or calipers) didn't help. At that point I don't think it had been on a track recently so they may not have known what to expect. I was an arrive-and-drive with Speedycop, I think his cousin(?) owned the car at the time. Does it still have the Jaz fuel cell?
There's a big part of me that thinks I have to put the history of this car together before we crush the ****er, cause it seems like a lot of people have had experiences with it. Some of them were even positive! I'm kidding, it's been a pretty good car. We just pulled the suspension off it all today to clean up for a new shell. And yeah, the cell too. That's an odd detail to remember though...
I think we got the suspension in a better position than you had it in. I hope anyway. We haven't had OP's lifting problem. Car handles predictably, just a hint of oversteer at the limits, liked lefts and rights, occasionally it'll spit rear brake pads and one time it backed most of the ball joint/strut bolts out.
