Thank you for the compliment.
Not too much has been done to it since the end of this thread. The two track days weren't especially successful and it understeers like a pig at autocross. Since then I've just done some street driving and have not developed it to be the track monster I wanted at all. Been busy with Chumpcar and other life!

I remember some one grinding out the upright in the front for more camber. Think they ended like about 2.5 or 2.7 static camber. Think they also had some spacers on the lower aluminum control arm for more caster 6 to 7degrees. Hope this helps.

Wouldn't a rear swaybar reduce his understeer?

I have not Autocrossed my car so don't have anything to add here. But on track my car doesn't have an understeer problem with the set up on the car.
2.6 front camber
6* caster
0 toe
350# spring
3/4 OD .095 front sway bar
3.5" ride height
2.75 rear camber
3/16 toe in
500# springs
3.75 ride height
A number of other R's that are running have been using higher spring rates 400-550 front and 600-700 rear without sway bars with success. Personally I have found the softer spring rates and front bar work well for me.

Mitch - those settings are almost identical to my setup. As you noted I run the higher spring rates and no sway bar. I run very smooth high speed tracks so the high spring rates keep the downforce in check.

What cooling setups are you running and are you running into any overheating issues?
Thanks!

I run a custom dual pass aluminum radiator that is fully sealed to the front opening. I also run a oil to water oil cooler, no heat issues what so ever. Check out my build thread for more details. Cooling stuff starts here.
