Sways vs Camber Arms??

I ran Eibach sways (front and rear) with factory camber and while I could feel the difference it wasn't until I got front camber arms and dialed in about -2.1

I ran Eibach sways (front and rear) with factory camber and while I could feel the difference it wasn't until I got front camber arms and dialed in about -2.1 camber upfront that the car really "woke up" in my opinion.

Also I think the consensus among many on this forum is that the Hotchkis bar upfront is too much unless you're running r-comp tires.

The one other thing that made a huge difference in my opinion was ditching the factory offset tire setup and going to a square setup. Not sure what your budget is but a set of track wheels with 285 or 295 wide tires all around might be worth considering too.

For now I am running street tires. Michelin PSS.

I have toyed with the idea of going 'square'. At some point I may do this, but I need to find someone selling some wheels cheap as this is more than I want to spend right now (also need to figure out how to get another set of wheels to the track). At that point I would do r-compound. I also like the idea of being able to rotate tires.
