I didn't do a ton of data measurement (surface temps, tire temps, etc) since I'm not that much of a detail person...

Alignment and video of a few laps with the springs is here (as well as alignment info for FRSSpdDmn): http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15789

Overall balance was changed to understeer/push but IMO that's the alignment I requested on purpose as I didn't want to risk the car 1,100 miles from home on a track not exactly known for being forgiving. Unfamiliar car and a rushed spring install.. seemed like a bit of push would be a good idea I also left VSC Sport on but besides flashing the light annoyingly every time ABS engaged and/or I used curbing it didn't really engage.

Yes, I was a wuss @ mid ohio Sebring in Oct (or maybe late September) I'll be able to explore the limits when I'm comfortable
