Hi norman

I have very similar mods to you actually. Rear sway bars, positive shift kit.
I am wondering what kind of damping settings are you running currently. I am still trying to find the perfect setting that works with the larger rear sway bars.

I apparently won't make it out to see all the nice cars tonight. I'm having car troubles tonight. Need to pull all my coils to make sure everything is dry. #3 had a wet coil because I accidentally got some water on them. Oh well... live and learn. Trying to dry out a coil on plug tonight will be fun.

I got these settings from RCE - they work very well on the track and is reasonably comfortable on the street.

Quote:
Front Rebound from Full Stiff: 10 Clicks
Front Bump from Full Stiff: 10 Clicks
Rear Rebound from Full Stiff: 13 Clicks
Rear Bump from Full Stiff: 7 Clicks

18 Clicks Total Bump Rear
I had my car corner balanced and aligned at Main Street Automotive in North Gower by Ken Baird (he's an instructor and racer).
http://mainstreetottawa.com/MSRAindex.htm

Here are my settings:


With the CasCam plates, caster was set to maximum at 6.5º (stock is 5.6º). The -3.3º camber in the front puts more wear on the tires, but really helps turn-in.

Calabogie 1MoreLap today

You guys want to meet up in Kanata first and come in from the other end of the 511?

Google says only 10 mins more, would probably be a wash vs stuck behind traffic on 17 or 508.



Or I'm open to other road choices.

Meet at PetroCanada on Terry Fox at 2:45? Should put us at Bogie just before 4pm.

I'm in, but if I'm not there on time, don't wait for me. Got some things to do today.

I'll see you guys at the track. Don't think I'll be ready in time to meet you for 2:45. Wondering if I need to put some rain-x on my windshield.....
