Switch the coil overs today, gave the Apexi to my bro and installed my old Stance to the new ride. Man, it was like day and night difference in ride feel alone! The car does feel light and agile again.
No more undulating feel when hitting bumps and bouncing while going moderate speed on highway ramps.

If you changed the suspension, you don't have any spec. You may still have Camber but Toe could be out of whack.

Beater wheels for generic lapping: 1st gen NSX rear wheels(heavy)- 16x8 +65 and Volk CE28N(light) 17x7.5 +50 fronts. R-888's because RA-1's weren't available at the time and there was a rebate for a set of four.
Same weekend as the pics showing the Enkei's

I just signed up for the FATT, or at least I thought I did, the system they use is weird. I clicked on attend but it didn't do anything?

Did not know that. I wonder if that contributed to being a little squarely when I did a hard breaking at one point.
I'll make an appointment next week with PTuning unless I find one today that does custom alignment.
Thanks for the head up, George.

I agree on that, Skip. I was looking at RPF1 +45 but since you and Rob had both rubbing issues with it I'll stick with higher offset.
Ptuning is giving me a good deal on triple 8s. What is your assessment about triple 8s on track?
I haven't swept or picked up, yet.

Skip, how much better were the Hoosier wets than the R888's you were running the last time we both ran in the rain together at Summit Main?
