Re: DSP to SM build
So after installing this rear beam reinforcement kit I had to re-corner weight my XR because it was way off, Crazy? set the alignment just like I've always have and off I went to the next event. I can't believe how the XR handles now, I should have put a go-pro on the rear suspension before and after to see how much it moves around, it has to !! Right? and it wasn't that hard to do, the hard part was cutting out all the steel pieces to make it fit the way I wanted. The crazy thing is now is I feel like I've lost power, I mean when I coming out of a turn the XR was lose most of the time and with all the different alignment setting I set it to it didn't help much, the funny thing is the XR just doesn't feel right and after dynoing the car this Monday I didn't lose any power, so I'm left with the alignment that I set works!

Re: DSP to SM build
Ben, will you have any of the pieces to weld in late October/early Nov when I get back? Not a big deal if you don't, I can probably just make my own, but would like something easier to work with.
