But and then again I think you'll see a lot more roll from an auto-x car vs something on track where the corners are cambered and things of that nature. Nonetheless awesome pic; love the mountains in the background!

255 NT01's are plenty of tire. That turn isn't cambered. Its actually down hill, road falling away form the car. Going fast enough to carry 4th gear through the corner

letsgetthisdone, I may have missed it but what spring rates you running front and rear?

Yes, definitely worth the money.
Rates are 10k front, 12.5k (700lb/in) rear.

Lol, I know.

I actually would like more tire so they aren't being worked so hard. One of these days I guess. Chuck was pretty easy on tires. Could prob get 5 days there out of a set of NT01's.

Saving pesos to get the ring and pinion replaced). 10k front springs (original ohlins springs), 700lb rear springs. Rear dampers valved accordingly. 8 clicks out from full stiff.

Camber was set to -3f/-2r, Caster +6.8L/+6.6R, 0 toe all around.

Increases front grip would be nice, but I would want rear grip to go up with it.

sounds pretty good, we've got a relatively similar setup minus I'm running softer spring & a little more shock (4-5 clicks) - and stock valving on my dfv's. nevertheless, completely agree. god I love these coilovers. I run 2-3 clicks from soft for normal driving, the car rides better than my mini!
