Did you make sure you tightened up your muffler bearings and did a bulb rotation?

Most def. I notice myself improving each time.

It's hard to go out to every event like I should if I want real improvement and perhaps even being competitive. Sucks having to work on the weekends lol

New wheels installed.
255/35R18 DW on 18X9.5 +40 TE37SL. Meaty square setup.
and did a new alignment at AZP install.

Cambers are -1.9 front, -1.7 rear.
a little bit toe in rear(+0.08) and a tiny toe out (-0.01)front.

The car handled like an animal !!!
I love it and it is sooooo much better than my last setup and the factory setup.

The 255 DW tires are not too wide at all.

The weight is 23lb for every tire and 18lb for every rims.

So there is only 41lb at every corner, which is even lighter than factory 41.5lb 215 setup.
