Decent handling susp setup?
I agree with 72bluNnblu that the battery is not the #1 issue. However, in the time you guys have spent dissecting all the possible suspension/tire/wheel combos available to a guy who plans only spirited street driving, the battery could have been relocated. 30 pounds from the front to the rear is a 60 pound difference. With over 15 years in short track racing, I can tell you that relocating the battery will make a difference. A battery relocation will be more noticeable to a novice driver than arguing over the brand of shocks for street driving. Just my opinion. Merry Christmas to all.
