Who's making the move to STU?

Measured caster on the new arms, actually not as bad as I thought. +7.2 which is still way more than stock. I also went to -4 degrees of negative camber

Figured I owe you guys some 315 / 18x11 snapshots by now.

I'm running straight second places at local events so far, 2/3 with class-winning scratch times by decent gaps but this extra tire is picking up cones

We'll see how it goes nationally at Finger Lakes.

Forgestar apparently is having a material backorder, and so my wheels are expected until July, now. I might have to see if I can maybe get the +23 Enkei PF05's.

Yep, +22. Sucks about the backorder, I guess I skirted that just in time.
No rubbing on the inside. Minor rubbing on the outside fender tabs under significant bumps

After four agonizing months, I finally got my F14s. I went with +24, but after mounting them on, I'm convinced I could have gone with +26 with these wheels to move everything even closer to the steering knuckle.

This is the first time my car is on Yokes. I'm hoping it can make me love racing this car, again.

Dude, with all this tire I need to win something. Gotta stop driving like a total spaz.
