Yeah, I can't wait to givem a go on the 90/10 setting.
But my slicks have seen better days, and don't think I'll do so well...
They wouldn't hook for poo last time I was at the track.
But my struts were also gone as well.
Hopefully I have enough cashflow to get my bottle filled as well.
Gonna launch good n hard if I can
420+RWTQ = One helluva launch

Edit: Have noticed that stopping seems to be sort of a problem with the new engine(bigger cam)
Thinking I may need a vacuum canister...
And running about 2.5º negative camber on both front tires, and heard Nitto makes a tire designed for negative camber so the wear isnt so bad.
Having to run so much negative because of the K-member, If you're thinking about a tubular K-Member swap. Be sure to get the whole kit.
Been having too much crap to deal with. But I'm almost done with getting the kit "completed"
Just need the coil over conversion kit and LCA's and the front end is done...
Finally...

Got it aligned w/ the new struts and everything yesterday.
Finally...
But it's fantastic, drove around with the stiffest setting today.
I've got some very windy roads leading to my house, so it's safe to say I had a blast!
No more rubbing, except for the normal rubbing when fully turning the wheel on the a-arm (just cuz of the 17x9's). Which is normal and has always happened.
But damn, very very fun.

Nope, just a nice amount of negative camber.

Also, stopping seems to be a little problematic with the new engine.
Thinking I may need a vacuum can.
