275s all around? Any spacers for that size? Do you like the square wheel balance?

I'm noticing more and more square setups. Some compromise to help be able to rotate tires or just because you've found it ultimately best?

285/30 18 Hoosiers right now. No spacers

Yes I like the square. Also easier to rotate last longer on car

I forgot you're pretty local to me. I actually live less than 5 miles from MCS.

Any good shop recommendations in the area you really trust? I still prefer to do everything myself that I can but also curious if you know of any that really know this platform well.

Seth getting the car Dialed in after the rear coil over conversion over at MCS. We added about 100lbs of spring front and Rear and it has made the car some much more stable and compliant. It was hot as hell yesterday at Road Atlanta we saw temps as high as 97. This session was at about 92. 285 Hoosiers. He set a 1:32 and in cooler months I think we will be closer to the 30's or even the high 29. We shall see.

You get used to it, but it's way nicer w/o it.

Ran the same one for 2 years. Had 1 track day now this year, first time w/o it and it's sooo much nicer.

Nice, congrats! I know the feeling as well, made it back to COTA last weekend after a two year hiatus and hit 4 PR's over the course of the weekend, felt great to be back! Wish I could get there more often, good times with friends as well.
