So I'm probably going to end up making both changes at once. It'll be fine if it's somewhere in the ballpark of correct. So I'll do a bunch of math and season it with some random guesswork and then throw on a set of springs and see what happens

Really, the worst adaptation I've had to deal with so far was a simultaneous switch from high-treadwear tires to RS3's while also stepping down from a staggered to a square tire setup. Felt awful to me the first drive, but after a full weekend I adapted and decided I liked it better. I'm sure this sway+spring change will feel a little weird to me at first, too, but it'll probably be fine as long as I don't screw it up too badly.
Speaking of treadwear, do you check tire temps? I drove around the block after coil install and when checking rubbing and such when I got back I noticed the inner wall was hot as hell yet the outer was very cold. Obviously severe camber and getting it aligned tomorrow but it still made me think about temps on the track and wear. I'd assume even temps across the carcass is ideal? Thinking of buying a temp gun.
