If I'm understanding...A lot of decent shocks are rebound damping. If you're cranking up the rebound damping then you're not going to have enough, I can see how the car would want to squat on you.

Your 510s should've come with dyno graphs. Post those.

In general your main adjustment will be rebound although there is usually some cross talk with compression, even on the nicer stuff like the 510s. The main advantage of the 510s is how wide of a range of spring rate they can control before needing a revalve, normally they can go 3-4k over what they're valved for and still control well.

Something is wrong with my right rear. Seems the toe is changing when loaded. Will investigate soon

I may have under estimated the impacts of removing OE flex bushing and removing all stiction from the rear suspension. there's probably around 100lbs of resistance that was there before.
@ayoustin have you raced your car with all sphericals?

Not yet with my evo but I have with other cars. And yes, when you move to sphericals the effective wheel rate will lower. It is common to use a slightly stiffer spring to compensate for the rate lost with the bushings gone.

got to run the set up in the fastest National Tour course layout I've ever driven on lol. I haven't done these events for 5 years
https://cdn.connectsites.net/user_fi...ouzprA8SOyKkvU

I ended up with 32 psi hot front/ 35psi hot rear with the A052s. the outer edges are toast even with aggressive camber I was full-send-4-wheel drifting in at least 3 sections.
these national champs are just amazing to watch

Have any pics of the outer edges? Drifting will definitely do that to the tires!

Any videos of your car over the weekend?

The top ones are the fronts. I can just replace those and flip the rears

Yeah, that wear looks in line with what I have in years past!

It doesn't take many runs for that outer tread groove to look like it's worn away, but trust me, there's still a lot of life left before they start chunking/cording at the end of their life!
