cv, the exit speed was on a different level, I was going to continue behind him, but I have 2 lap limit before the car overheat

even with all the work, it is still not perfect in that regard, I will try 50 weight next time.

Madwi, I have been in contact with Josh Coote, the owner of MCA, he is a very knowledgeable guy, he explained to me that soft rear springs are mean that way to give leverage compared to front and to put power down easily. Also, he said it shouldn't be bouncing, but before changing anything, I need to check the full adjustment range. So, until next trackday, I wouldn't be able to give any more feedback, I tried on empty parking lot, with softer setting, it doesn't bounce, but will appear in track if it was bottoming out, which now I think it isn't the case, because it should be bouncing in the street as well, but it was very comfy.

More updates

Getting new BFG R1S in 285/30/18 for Autocross

They are on

Also, getting my seat removed and installed a Sparco Evo 2 US.

Got some issues with the install, as I couldn't go as low as I wanted because the shell of the seat doesn't clear the rails and I cannot use the lowest setting. Also, I couldn't use the rails until I flipped one of the side mounts to clear the seat.

And here is the some photos of the car with the tires, I think I need to lower it more

but I don't want to do another alignment and corner balance. Rightnow, I am sitting at -3.25 front camber and -2.00 rear camber.

First test for the slicks and seat, it is much nicer to drive with seat support, but not nice to get in and out

I did an Autox event, sadly I got only 4 runs, and one of them was dump, yes it rains over here. Also, still not able to use full grip of the slicks, because the layout was very narrow.

My best run

One fun experience

Keep us updated on your findings as you get adjusted to them.
