Well Ron.....I pretty much just took a half inch off the coil springs and then added a 1/2" taller ball joint. Once that work was complete I took it to the alignment shop and backed out static castor and camber. Ths car responded by feeling alot closer to neutral which leads me to think I was running too much castor my previous track day causing the car to jack loose.

In addition...my outside front tire temp differential went from 4* to 2* which is good.

The car began to get free at the end of my second session and I'm thinking it was due to front tire wear and the RA-1's starting to come in and give me better grip. To counter the free condition I began to lower rear roll center one bolt hole at a time. By the time I got to my 5th session I had dropped three bolt holes and the front grip was not effected which tells me front grip was getting better and so was the rear. I ran my fastest lap time the 5th session.

Thoughts?
