Would be quite a task to induce under steer with 315 up front tho

I still chuckle with joy seeing the 315’s up front

Nice pictures!

Thanks dude. I suppose it doesn't matter now but my bump stops are active, meaning the car is always on them. If I got the packing wrong the rate would go infinite too soon and make the car push but so far it's pretty great. Feels and looks like dramatically more roll resistance and grip for $15. Most importantly, it goes low and rides good.

Did you go to Nationals? How'd it go? I see Bill Zerr didn't do as well as he normally does.

Small update. I made some small setup changes after nationals. Now running the oem nismo front sway bar and the car is much easier to drive at the limit. I did win my class at our local winter event yesterday which isn't much but it's progress. Hopefully plan to finish the build with intakes, tune, 2p brake rotors and some 18x11 wheels all next season.

I've done one in the z so far. It's a fun place to test set up changes and get a ton of seat time, but what I like most about autocross is competition with relatively low time and cost commitments.
