Invest in the Grounds Controls. it is a bit more pricey but more than worth your money.

Mike,
the GC/AGX Combo has made a very big difference in the way the car handles.
thank you for the advice, i can not wait to try this setup in the track.
Do we have enough people for the coming track event, i can not remember was it June or July?

how long do the prokits last? because i was thinking of getting it soon, because i need to lower my car, and I wanna start canyon running sometime. We all know that stock springs and shocks for a b14 is just asking to be killed.

Yes it is much better to do your speeding on the track, the street is no place to do it.

SentraRacer97,

in 1999 i have learned my lesson the hard way, i crashed and almost fell off the cliff at 74 Ortega Highway doing canyon racing (very stupid Sh*^%T) i was very lucky not hurting anyone else and myself. totalled a nice 91 Sentra SE-R.
racing on public roads/highways is not worth it.

this was at 2 am in the morning at Casper wilderness forrest, around 25 miles of winding empty roads, it was a downgrade left turn, the car oversteered (the rear started sliding to the right) so i started recorrecting and pointing the car to the right while stepping on the gas more to correct as soon as the car started to correct, the left front edge of the car snagged the edge of a boulder that was on the side of the road this pivoted the car to 180 degrees slamming the right rear to the side of the mountain, we do another 180 and we end up facing the right way of traffic close to the edge of the mountain, there where no guardrails.

the car looks like a hatchback w/ most of it's right rear squashed in, the left front corner lens, headlight assembly, hood, fenders are all out of alignment, the foglamps in pieces all over the road, front bumper skin scratched up bad, bumper support also out of alignment. there where also waves in the sheetmetal evident in the roof. we picked up the wing in the last corner pulled the right rear part of the bumper skin that was rubbing against the right rear tire. we jumped back in the car drove to the nearest gas station then got the car towed on a flatbed home.

A very Happy ending for the 91 Sentra SE-R,
i sold the car to Cal Haskin in 2000, he brought the car back to life, did all the body work himself , he changed all the sheet metal and repainted the car, the original engine spun a bearing last year, and he just recently replaced it w/ a used JDM.

It wasn't driver error then(I thought it was). The reason it happened was unavoidable on the street... that's why it's good to keep this kind of driving on the track, where there isn't boulders hiding in the turns
I'm glad you're okay.
