Back to back track weekends at the exact same track? Seems like a recipe for being able to really test changes and seek improvements!

While the time between this track day and the last were mostly spent getting the NC Miata up to speed for my Girlfriend to try out track days with, the C5 Corvette also received some significant attention. While the previous track day had yielded significant track time improvements, the understeer on the car was quite noticable. After consulting with some folks the advice I received was two fold: The tires I'm running are pretty narrow for the job, and the rear suspension is likely too soft.

Keeping with my trend of a track day every other week, I hit up a pretty affordable Streets of Willow Springs Clockwise day. I had new components to try out, with some fresh QA1 coilovers, Progress swaybars, and the Electrosport Wheel Well vents. I was able to meet up with a fellow C5 owner, whose C5 unfortunately was down and so they were there in a Focus ST. We also met a fellow with a pretty rowdy 2019 Ford Mustang, and I can't recall the model but given he was rolling on 315 front 325 rear tires, his car was definitely built to shred!

After the first two track days, I was gunning to hit my third track day with some notable upgrades. Unfortunately shipping woes would not allow it as two of my incoming tires dissappeared. How two of 4 tires all sent out at the same time go missing is beyond me, but eh that's not my problem as I was later sent out two tires.

Short Version:

Overall the QA1 Proma Star coilovers for the C5 Corvette and the progress sway bars are solid products that can be dialed in to produce a very balanced handling car other drivers will be envious of. When configured right and with some minor aftermarket parts, these sway bars and coilovers do both work pretty darn good together.

This page will hopefully continue to serve as a place where I can keep track of the current modifcations done to the Miata. Some modifications and work were performed to the vehicle prior to my ownership, and I will update to include that information as soon as I discover them.
