There's also Velox and Racecomp for much cheaper off the top of my head, but I think Racecomp has been out of stock for like a year+ Some googling comes up with a few others, Beatrush, HVT, Hotchkiss, Project Silver, etc. http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=113260 And if you want to do it on a budget you may be able to get more camber out of another pair of bolts depending on your current setup. Seems like you have crash bolts in top hole, so the 14mm SPC bolt in the bottom hole may bump up a noticeable enough. |

There is a known power steering issue with these cars actually, under high load it will suddenly cut out on you (have experienced it more than once). There was a software fix for MkII (2017+) to fix it.
OP, for the first turn you mentioned you are ~1.0g and the next turn (slightly slower) you were 1.1g. Obviously taking some liberties with the data since there are longitudinal and lateral components present, but I didn't think you left much on the table for this turn. For the second turn you were 0.9g, so IMO leaving something on the table there. But I saw elsewhere on the video evidence of the push you described, so I understand where you're coming from. If I have one piece of advice, it would be to work on your throttle modulation. It's tough for me to judge what you're doing with the throttle currently (more data might help here!) but it may be that you are mashing the gas and overpowering the fronts when a little smoother roll-on might let you find the edge a little better - especially given your background of high HP turbo AWD cars, they reward "stomp and steer" behavior. No, we don't have a lot of horsepower, but if WOT makes you push too much try to find something less than WOT that puts power down without pushing you off line. That said, IMO you're right about the point where the car's behavior is starting to hold you back. A setup change to increase your confidence when going to the right pedal is going to make you faster. What parts you buy depends on how serious you want to take this, but you could use more spring and an adjustable shock. Sounds like a full coilover setup is in order. |

Chiming in on PS cutout at inopportune times. It's not uncommon for me during autocross events under high-g cornering with a good bit of steering input.
Also second the recommendation to find more negative camber, and consider coilovers and more spring. Potentially a lot more... |

I have on order front caster/camber plates and rear adjustable LCAs to give me a better alignment. I'm going to see how that works for me before heading to coilovers but I think you're right and they're probably in my future. Thanks a bunch for the reply, people like you make this community awesome :). |
I'll add to this:
You can't throw money at a car and expect to never have to lift for a turn. There is a point where you are just taking the corner too fast, and the solution is to drive better, not throw more money at the car. I'm not saying this is you, as we don't have nearly enough info to find the exact issue here, but get more seat time in your setup and you'll learn the car and what it needs more. If you try to buy parts every time you go out, you'll never really know what the car is doing, and each time you'll be adjusting your driving to suit the fresh setup instead of learning the car more and becoming a better driver. If you keep modding away your problems, you won't grow as a driver until you run out of money and then HAVE to just learn to drive quickly on your final setup. |
