Using the defrost setting runs the fans. I tested all the methods when I had my car during Texas summers and this combo worked the best. Keep the car running so you are actually circulating the oil...

Hotchkis is the stiffest bar.

Flashing lights are most likely the light for the ELSD kicking in (car applying brakes to spinning tire).

Defrost, full heat, hood open between runs. Spray the...

I run less than the stock camber setting on my car. It helps with tire wear and putting power down on corner exit. I don't run quite that low but less than 2*.

I'll repeat what I told you before. Street tires do not respond to being squeezed onto rims the same way that R-comps do. In general you will get optimal grip with a street tire if it is square or...

Nope 295's square. I've thought about running that stagger but the car has no issues putting down power and rotates fine so I don't see a need to upset the balance with more rear grip.

After taking apart my front suspension I found that the front of the car spends almost all of its time on the bumpstops. There is maybe .5" of travel at most and then a big squishy 3" bump stop. In...

Yes the A6 is very much like a slick but it is not. It just bothers me when people refer to all minimally greased tires as slicks, there is a still a relatively large difference between the two.

Sorry I just saw this post. I use the hotchkis bar and it's just about perfect with the Hoosiers on the car. However on street tires the understeer was well, epic. I would recommend a smaller bar...

The stiffer front sway can increase grip if your are running very sticky tires, aka Hoosier's. The front sway will keep the car from rolling further, which can improve the front tire's camber. It...

I was goona ssay I know the C6's use a 315/19 on a 9 in rim up front. I'm more worried about strut clearance even with a spacer. It depends on how the tire deflects once it's squeezed onto that rim.

We're still experimenting so we haven't quite got it yet but basically keeping the rears higher than the fronts has helped with rotation a lot.

How are your AST's doing?
