Keep in mind most shocks are valved different front to rear so asking people with shocks that aren't identical to yours is only vaguely relevant to your shocks. Unless you're going as far as...

Yeah I'm at maybe 0.2" rake at the hub to fender so probably zero rake at the welds.

I think if I recall I'm at 12.75/12.95 now. Or 12.7/12.9. Something like that.

Just suction cup it to the driver's side rear window near the bottom, at a right angle. You should be able to get it so it can see the driver, the front left wheel, and the course in front of the...

First of all it's only 7mm we're talking about so other factors can matter more, but of course it helps.

Wow! Yeah sounds like the front is way too low. I'm at a little over 25" both front and rear measuring that way. I could go lower for sure but definitely not a whole inch lower. I'm also pretty...

I run rebound in the middle all around (like 9 or 10 from soft) and compression in the first few clicks (2-5 from soft depending on site and how crazy i'm feeling)

Thanks for the share :cheers:. Mind sharing your alignment? Curious mostly about rear toe. Also ride heights if you know them.

It seems like the feedback is overwhelmingly towards keeping STX as is, to an absurd degree, so I'm guessing it will be a few years before they try to upend STX again.

And SSC sucks.

And that's assuming he means 1 second over the course of two big national style courses added up, i.e. 0.5 second per autocross day. 1 second per day would be far worse.

If you're saying it's within a second faster, OK you're probably in agreement. Nobody thinks it's more than a second faster, if it was it would be competitive in STR.

Not that it matters but I actually run +35 with a 3mm spacer in front so even lower offset is possible. I do have a decent amount of camber (had 5 degrees, now 4.8). It rubs less than 35 did.
