This past Friday was the first track day since installing the suspension upgrades. Was hopefully for a nice gain in lap time but instead was gifted a very wet track day

Wasn't easy for me to form any real opinion on the new setup beyond it's pretty oversteery. I felt like I was driving on a knife edge any more throttle and the car was going to spin.

Most likely this was more me being nervous and the car probably would have just went into a very controllable "drift". I ended up disconnecting the rear sway bar which did seem to help in both feel and time.

I took the car out for a bit of a blast around my local roads since it was the first nice day since the alignment and the ride comfort is just great. Handles the bumpy back roads without issue. Loads of grip yet still quiet and well mannered.

I threw together a video covering all this ending with my best lap from Friday's track day.
