Hi there JD
We have run our autox car to our race site, about 25 mi. with our race K's.
Wear has been minimal. Ride on the other hand-about 1/4th of the distance is
on freeway that has rake like marks with little ups & downs.
This does make for an interesting ride.
I'm possibly looking at set of street K's for 86 BMW, should be an
interesting ride.
Happy 4th Judy in San Diego {:>}
