255 non-staggered made my car a different beast. I wouldn't recommend it until you are very confident with your car and oversteer. Not sure how others feel. I also did a spring swap at the same time, so I couldn't really isolate anything. But if anything, the spring swap would have reduced the oversteer from nonstag due to the increased front rates I went with.

Yeah I was very pleased. Especially when I was getting gas at the end of the day and a GT3 was there and told me he ran a 2:10 haha! (That GT3 would have blown the doors off a stock S2k with the proper driver)

It was my second track day in my S2k. I had 4 track days prior in my STi from '06-08.

Mike is a fast driver! I think your non-stag setup is perfect for no aero. Get a lip spoiler to complete the "stock" look Gotta learn from you!

Thanks David

Yeah that would look nice!

I'm not sure what I can teach you haha. I just floor it! As much as possible!

I think I could be faster without that stupid clutch delay valve though haha! I can't shift the way I want to...fAsT!

Also, my clutch pedal has become stiff, and doesn't push in or release smoothly. It wants to get stuck and then jump up in spots

Oh no haha! This is headed in the wrong direction!

You think it really needs to be lubed somewhere on the clutch assembly though?

Pull the slave cylinder out and check it out. While you're at it, pick up an AP1 slave cylinder which doesn't have the CDV.

Clutch fluid is the same as brake fluid! They're both hydraulic fluids!

As for tranny and diff oil, do you change those regularly? I change mine at least every other trackday. It'll help save your tranny and diff!
