Makes the decision easy. Come winter time when we're still in the shitter we'll look back on this and be fine with it and think it was crazy to even consider having a few hundred people camp out on a concrete pad for a week.

You're obviously in a different part of the country, but this is SCCA taking the easy way out. It's a few hundred people, that's it. We're running weekly short-track racing with double/trip the entire nationals attendance currently, without issue. /end rant
Well I have 11 autocrosses in so far this year, with 4 national events and at least 6-8 more locals on the calendar, I'll just keep making "lemonade out of lemons" over here. |

oem diff, i have csg flex as which are 6/6 and i run them somewhere in the middle with the back slightly softer. i think i have it set at 7 front 9 back. im at -3.7 front slight toe out and -2.5 back slight toe in. i actually added a bit of toe because i had to get aligned after my crash so why not. my rationale of going to stiff was the reason i crashed was i got on it a bit too soon at the end and my back was getting loose and when i hit the brakes in the box i oversteered. so i figured this was dumbass insurance and ive seen a bunch of people say they run it on full stiff. here's a video of my best lap from today. you can see where i understeered pretty badly in the first loop and on the last big turn and had to muscle the back around with the throttle. i know it wasnt my best lap because i can see in trackaddict left .7 seconds off my best sections mostly in the loopy stuff. |

Softer front sway seems like a good decision before spending money on spring rates or putting it on the alignment rack again. Stiffer rear spring (maybe both springs stiffer eventually) and a little more front camber might help but the bar is adjustable for a reason, why spend money. Stiff setting on the 22 seems to be reserved for when everything else is set up on the loose side via spring rates, diff behavior, damping, etc. going for a car that's quick to transition. Maybe just go full soft so you have fun the next event.

Continuing to enjoy and learn the 5k/9k setup.
Ended up 3rd overall on index saturday and sunday at Oregon SCCA events in Packwood. Was only .150 off Ryan Otis today on index which is by far the closest I've ever gotten to him. Def a few more tenths to find as I'm a not as tight on cones as I should be... But happy with the result and how the car is driving. |

Bummed about nats. Honestly, I feel safer with the concept of a travel event where I have a lot of control over who I'm around than at a local where there really aren't any mask requirements and it is a constant barrage of people coming up to me asking questions (and I'm skipping those events).
With that said, life is a little simpler now that I can shelve everything until next March (or longer). |

They do a bit of damage when wrapped in your wheel well. Stiffer in the rear...right? What else differs from the standard 400/400 or 400/350? |

Correct.
Yokos seem to tighten up the car a lot -- i have a set for my s13 and they do the same for it. |

You could probably throw the 14mm SPC camber bolt in the lower hole. iirc the upper hole on the teins is slotted, if not you could do two camber bolts.
