Re: John Browne's Post

	I just wanted to say that John's post should be read carefully.  
While John is very modest about his driving skills he is in reality a 
top-notch driver.  After having ridden in PeeKay, I will also add that 
John knows how to set up a car well.
	I would also like to add a few comments to John's statement about 
power v. handling.   We often get caught up in the power debates instead 
of concentrating on handling.   I have found that on back roads and at 
the track that lack of power is not the problem, lack of handling is.  If 
you can go through corners faster you don't need as much power to 
accelerate on the straits.  
	Also in reference to suspension kits, I would also suggest 
staying away from kits that advertise lots of drop.  In the case of a car 
like my 320i I ended up going with Suspension Technics because their 
springs only lowered the car by 3/4".  Guess what, I have about 2.5 
degrees of negative camber at the rear.  If I had put springs on that 
lower the car more, I would have had way to much camber on the rear for a 
daily driver.  
	Well, thats my two bits.
