What is needed to setup my suspension

No problem...tracking is expensive! If you are going to run the the same set of tires and rims on the street as you do on the the track you are

No problem...tracking is expensive! If you are going to run the the same set of tires and rims on the street as you do on the the track you are going to burn through a bunch of tires. If your camber is going to be in the -3.0 range you are going to get some uneven wear. Get yourself a square setup on another set of rims, you can get a set of enkie's for around $1400 new and that way you can have a dedicated set of track tires. Also, except to spend between $3k to $7k if you want do it right. Remember your drive train is a big component in optimizing your suspension.

Sounds good. As for the Enkei's are you referring to the rpf1's?

For now I'm just putting my foot in the water and I guess I don't need that extreme camber settings. Down the line I will look into more if I become a dedicated track junkie, but now I am just looking at maybe 2-3 sessions per year. I just want to be able to have the adjustability settings available so the car can run properly with coilovers.
