If you have scale weights for the car I can run it through my ride frequency spreadsheet and compare it to our stuff, let me know...
Awesome. I've been planning on corner balancing the car soon w/ the SCCA scales. But I have to *have* my car to do that! One of these days I'll get it back from SS... stupid driveshaft!

I'll certainly have some suspension setup work to do w/ the new weight of the larger tranny in there... perhaps 550 is too high... but I'll never know w/o some data and probably a few attempts w/ different spring rates. Luckily, I can use generic 2.5" ID springs, so I'll prolly just get a set or two of Eibach springs and see what works.
