Koni yellow/RCE tarmac setup-initial review

I have been running Koni yellows with stock springs and factory camber bolts for almost entire autox season and it was great, but so far the new springs feel sooo much better than it did before. I thought it was going to be a really rough ride but it actually is alot smoother than running the stock springs, im guessing the shocks don't have to do all the work now that the tarmac springs are better matched.... I also installed the whiteline camber bolt kit but haven't gone in for the alignment yet im hoping for at least -2 but ill see. so far this seems like a great setup for autox and track.

Ill post more impressions once I can get the car on track and I put on the BFG rivals once the worst of TX winter is over.

Glad to see. I have the yellows but have been wondering if the move to tarmacs is worth it.

Combine factory camber bolts with spcs if you need more camber. I run them on a rce/koni setup and can get around -2.5 in the front.

Just got my alignment done only got -1.5 in the front .... feels great on the street but an autox with new tires should be awesome,I will be getting some camber/caster plates if I still have low speed understeer.

Your probably gonna need more. I understeered with anything less than -2. But that is on a less sticky tire (bridgestone s-04)
