Camera's 818C

Added helper springs and rebalanced my front shocks. Here's my final corner balance. Slight improvements all around compared to last year, but with a more appropriate rear spring rate and properly sized dampers (twice the travel and in the middle of it's travel at ride height). Still waiting on hardware to bolt down the 25lb brick of lead under my passenger seat. I also torqued down all my suspension bushings at ride height which is something I didn't do properly when assembling the car. I had used a jack to raise the wheel some, but not exactly at ride height.

I'm excited to take a test drive and start adjusting my dampers, but it's been too cold here. Recommended to not put weight on 200 tires below 20F or the compound irreversibly cracks. And if they do get below 20F, you have to get them above 40F for at least 24 hours before using them. I've been careful all winter to keep the car on stands. Should get a chance to drive within a couple weeks as things are warming up. The tires don't stick below 60F so it's not like I could push the car anyways, but it would be good to find any issues now. Points races start 4/13!
