I started Autocrossing an '08 Bullitt this year. Only my second year doing this so you understand how green (

) I am when reading my comments.

I run Nitto NT-01 275/40/18 on the stock 18x8.5 rim. I run 40 psi up front and 34 psi in back. Most of the events are on concrete and being new I over drive the corners still. In slow, as others have said, is the way to drive this car fast.

I installed Tokico D-specs toward the end of the season. I currently have them adjusted near full soft in the rear (6-7 turns from full hard) and 4 turns from full hard up front (0 turns is full hard, 7 turns is full soft). I have only two events on the new struts/shocks so more experience is needed to be sure they are setup correctly.

I also did the Ford Manual authorized camber/crash bolt mod (PN: 4R3Z-3B236-AB) when I upgraded the struts. Gives a little more static camber up front. I don't know what the camber is set at now but it is set to the maximum allowed by the mod. I'm guessing around 1.7-2.0 deg neg.
