Pretty much everywhere my rear end lacks grip (although trail braking appears to be just dandy when I do it right), I've got a funky suspension setup (425# square tho) so I'm thinking drastically less camber in the rear than what is 'normal' (-2 ish) may be the ticket (I feel like I'm significantly overdamped back there, and as such I believe I lack the suspension articulation of other setups) but who knows.



We can do diagnose strat's woes another time. I know my fat ass makes the car about 1s slower than someone quick, but that still puts the car ~3s off the pace of some others in this thread. A power bump coming soon will do wonders to shave time off (still stock except an air filter) but I know finding that confidence in the rear end will put an end to my excuses.

Hearing how @oinojo has set up his car and knowing the results, super-low isn't a requirement for a fast STX setup. Based on the pics and description it's likely around 1.5" lower than stock give or take (depending on how the finger measurement is done).
