usually launching on damp pavement, It's not a major problem as I rarely launch the car, but did note that the wheel hop can be quite violent on this car when it happens.

@Racecomp Engineering
What spring rates do you recommend as a default for the Tarmac 2s versus the KW Clubsports, and what increase in spring rates (if any) would you recommmend for the Tarmac 2s based on, say; a) Mixed street & casual track, extreme performance summer street tires b) Mixed street & serious/competitive track, club level, extreme performance street tires c) Mixed street & serious competitive track, club level, R comps/semislicks d) Serious competitive track work, club level, R comps/semickicks e) Serious competitive track work, club level, full slicks (aka Hoosier A6 or stickier) Let's assume aggressive-as-you-like alignment. Ballpark rates would be OK, not trying to steal your setup tricks. Just curious where the 'sweet spot' is on the RCET2s before you'd have to look at custom valving or a higher end shock, as well as what to consider when choosing spring rates.

If you don't want to increase NVH, do not do bushings.
Save sway bars for fine tuning the T2 when you get them. |

For entry coils. Whats the difference between Stance, BC, Fortune, etc?
I'm looking to daily mostly, but still canyon run occasionally. Yet I still want to be lowered. I'm looking into Fortune, but I hear stories that they don't go low enough. Do the Fortune have as much adjustability as BC? I would greatly appreciate help!

I like the RS*Rs (6k f / 7k r) and my current alignment (-2.5f/-1.7r) for street + light track duty on street tires (PS2s) but in terms of competition and cold hard lap times I'm genuinely curious about the relative merits of switching to stiffer springs and dampers, assuming that I'd be running R compound tires (RC1s) and a more aggressive alignment (-3f/-2r). Might be overkill think on my part but when these kinds of questions come up, guys like @Racecomp Engineering and @CSG Mike are the only peeps I know of who can answer them. Should also mention that JRZ RS money would be the absolute max I'd be willing to spend. Preferrably less. Hypothetically.

Just want: - More grip (higher cornering speeds) - Lower lap times - Less steady state understeer at the limit (more front grip) - Less lift off oversteer (no trouble catching & balancing it but it slows me down a bit) aaand local time attack doesn't allow aero mods in the class I'm targeting (go figure) so not going there. I'm going to try out the more aggressive alignment and some tire pressure tweaks next time out. Will see how that it works. Then worry about tires ($$) then different suspension ($$$). No big rush, just trying to think ahead a bit. But yes, you are most probably right. Those last few tenths are always the most expensive; it may or may not be worth chasing after them.

Thanks once again @CSG Mike
(already have a Whiteline bumpsteer kit in the mail, will tweak the rest out & hopefully learn to drive like you or maxrev).
