Mid-season thoughts...

I've really thought about my car's set-up/handling over the last few days and I must say that with roughly a dozen events under my belt, I've absolutely no changes that I'd make to my suspension & alignment settings at this time. I've built this car for the class with the aim to keep it "as soft as possible" to do the job I need. The bilsteins have definitely provided copious amounts of droop travel which helps keeps all four tires on the ground at all times. Also, the slightly stiffer front springs I switched to back in late April, have definitely helped reduce front-end dive under braking.

I'm definitely still lacking in the power department, though I hope to address this issue over the winter in the form of a Cobb AP and protune. Currently, I'm just losing too much time to the WRXs on uphill sections. Hopefully I'll also have the funds to get a light-weight race seat (driver's) to keep me secure in turns.
