Bob,
All good points!  But I wonder if it would be a wise thing to further lighen 
the front.   I already cut a full coil off the springs and
the car still seems to sit too high in front.  Maybe I need to soften the SPAX 
shocks to make it settle down a bit.  Of course, in
saying this, I have geared myself for a message from Ted S. about those 
expensive Carrera Shocks and height adjustment kits!  :)
