It's been a while, but figured I should post about my latest spring and camber plate setups.

In order to get more camber, I swapped to GC's hybrid/street plate with the poly bushing, and man, that really does ride nicely on the street and isolates NVH better. Now I can get more camber, and the ride quality has improved. It's a win-win. I had previously swapped to 700/1000 springs, which seems to be a common "track" setup (same as Ohlins Dedicated RT), and while handling was alot better over the kit's 600/800 on track, it still felt a bit too soft.

I've since upgraded to 850/1200 and this feels great. I think this is the winner setup, especially for a full interior 3400# car. Damping still feels great, the bilsteins have enough valving range to handle plenty of spring rate. Handling is also even more neutral with larger split F/R. Definitely would recommend.

I routinely hot lap this car back to back with my other cars on Ohlins TTX, Ohlins R&T, and JRZ RS Pro, and continually come away impressed by the performance of these shocks. They might not have all the fancy features that some others have, but it's a bomb-proof setup that just works really well. Shame these kits aren't made for more cars....
