Lol

Just thought that was a funny picture of me at MidOhio. About to enter Madness (Turn #8).

Hello OEM springs!

Nice pic. Looks like a lot of banking on that corner? I've done 4 prior events on the OEM springs and there's a lot to be learned on it for sure. Did my last event with the Cusco Zero 2 on 10kg/7kg springs and the added roll stiffness felt SO much better and confidence inspiring.

The turn is uphill but half of it drops to off camber, plus your going downhill on corner exit. Fun Track MidOhio!

I'm fine with the OEM springs as I don't hit the bumper stop anywhere and I'm running -3 degrees static camber. I was just surprized to see that much lean on that picture!

If you go with more tire, you'll need more spring.

Not adding more tire for a year or so.

I'm tired of playing catching up to the car's newest setup... I now have very little understeer compared to OEM, and the car responds beautifully to trail braking.

The fun factor is definitely high and the car feels well balanced. I'll keep it like that and work on me!
