I mean I feasibly could if I wasn't afraid of cops and dying.

I try to keep my speeds relatively sane having seen countless kids crash down here. Good thing we have track days.

I raced karts for 7 years up until a couple years ago. And after that it's only been a couple track days. Now that I have some rubber on my BRZ and a beater Miata I'm looking to start going fairly frequently.

Some Beryllium 2" drop spindles would be nice

Oil starvation with high Gs (high performance street tires, R compounds, aftermarket roll resistance)

Oil temps

I would like to understand swaybars a bit better. Many people suggest only putting a front bar, but I find it incredibly difficult to make a decision based on the advertised stiffness. How do I know my car's swaybar needs to be 85% stiffer? 150%? 300%?

We only recommend sways when changing springs is not an option, and vehicle balance needs to be changed. It's not a blanket "helps everyone" mod like better brakes or brake pads.

@CSG_Mike what do you think if the spring rates are close to stock, stock sways, but the dampers are electronically valved? I need to figure out if I should replace my sways or not.

I'll comment once I have a chance to experience them.

I could possibly arrange that. Please send a PM.

I'm less concerned with the brand name or cost of the mod and much more interested in how much camber to dial in with different wheel/tire setups.

Rear camber isn't adjustable from factory and you're going to want to just max out the front camber bolts as that will still not be "ideal"

Camber bolts suck, only able to get max -1.5 which is useless for the track
