I agree. From driving with a few different alignments and checking tire temperatures along with driving feel I think the ideal rear camber is in the 1.7 to 1.8 degree range.

Start with about 40 up front and 35 rear and see how you do and check the roll over.

Those are some crazy high pressures, I never found it necessary to run them that high.

It has no tread and is a super soft compound so to me that is a slick whether it has a circumferential grove or not. The A6 is one of the softest compounds used in racing, the only thing softer is a...

It is much more apparent in person when you are walking the course at low speed. There should be some people available for the course walk to assist the novices in understanding the course and its...

I used the NT01's for a season with many heat cycles. I really didn't notice any drop off in performance, and I like them as a track tire for their durability. Certainly not as fast as the full...

Yes, stock class allows slicks - DOT slicks is the catch. Personally I would prefer that stock class was street tires as originally intended and leave the slicks to the prepared categories, but alas...

The Goodwood Festival of Speed is a huge event, but there are much smaller hillclimb events here in the US. There are at least a couple in the North East where I'm at, so check around.

Wow for a while there I thought it was like the Nascar of Auto-x, you only turned left!

I believe the Eibach part is a replacement upper control arm.

As far as best front sway, there is...

Holy crap that is tight. That had to be the worlds shortest stop box as well, LOL.

If you have factory suspension you have no adjustment and no way to gain. I think my stock alignment was...

Looks to be a similar size to the course we run, except we use 3 runways so we don't have to do double backs. We used to make them really long, about 2m30s, but now we probably average 1:40 to 1:50....

Pads are free. Oil cooler and brake ducts technically bump you to SP even though they don't enhance your auto-x performance. Given the limited mods you could run stock and nobody would care, I...

I never had a major problem with rear roll over but grip did improve a little when I increased rear camber to between -1.7 and -1.8 (basically max) in stock configuration. After that the inside and...

Yes it did make understeer worse at low speed but that was all but eliminated with the increased camber.

I'm using the SPC upper control arms. Not the easiest to make small adjustments with but...

For SP it can help a fair bit which quick direction changes as you can run a matched set, although I found it was pointless unless you also had camber arms. I have coilovers, front camber arms and...

I'm sure I could make 315's work but they wouldn't be on the stock 9" rim unfortunately. 315 on a 10" works.

People regularly drive 150 miles to run at our events just because they are so much more fun. Good speed, long course, lots of runs, no PAXing. We occasionally get people from NY/NJ drive 4 hours! ...

At the event on Saturday I hit 80mph in 3rd gear, the rest of the course was mostly 40-60mph. On my last run I was flagged down and got a re-run, had to re-grid with oil temp at 260, and hit limp...

I can say shocks helped my car tremendously. Actually they are replacement coilovers (BC Racing ER type) as my car is currently built for STX.
