Yeah, I remember making the comment at the track that your rear camber was pretty extreme... and I'm running -2 in the rear on my 19's
I'm doing the camber kit for tire wear since mine are wearing way too quick on the inside. I rotated them to the wrong direction just to last me until I get some tires

How difficult/easy is it to adjust the dampening settings? It does not sound so involved since you've mentioned doing it in between runs.

for the rear the adjustment is on the bottom... so it is easy to adjust with your fingers... the fronts you need a long allen wrench to adjust...

I was told you need to have all pressure off the shock to adjust dampning... but I do not know how accurate that is yet...

Talked to HKS today...

You CAN adjust the dampning while the car is on the ground... no need to take the pressure off the shocks... the rear is VERY easy to adjust...

I played with the damping rates today and WOW wat a difference... softest setting (30 clicks counter clockwize) like a luxury car) and stiffer from there on... you feel the difference after a couple of clicks...

To date... my favorite suspension for the Z... their RS suspension is coming out soon but it has a lighter spring rate then the II's... I like the stiffer spring rate...

we set it by measuring... i didnt align the car, too low for the alignment rack... i gotta get it aligned somewhere... and of course will ballance with me in the car too


Take it to any chevy dealer, they should have the newer alignment racks because thats what they use for the corvettes, thats where I go because the rack is built into the floor and you don't have to worry about driving up on a ramp and bottoming out your car.
