You're welcome.

I have a little update for everyone now that the car is finally dialed in.

Went to get an alignment to find out that almost every setting I had before was off. I guess its not OK to go drifting in the rain if you want to keep your alignment intact.

I went with this setup:

Front:
-2.2 Camber
5.6 Caster (locked by the SPL camber arms)
.02 Toe
Rear
-2 Camber
.06 Toe

Result is a car that turns in smoothly and has loads of mechanical grip in corners. The straight line acceleration has suffered a bit with the rear camber, but its not an issue unless you are being silly. It is definitely a little more tail happy than it was before, but I like that, a lot. Overall its a smooth setup, hopefully I will be going on track again soon to test it out. I think the package will be complete with some Stillen Swaybars and a couple ticks stiffer on the suspension. I am still getting a tiny bit of body roll, but that's whats keeping the car comfortable on daily driving so I can deal with it for now.
