I probably need more camber on the front, but I need to take temps again.
What are you at right now? -3?
Hello Guest, welcome to the initial stages of our new platform!
You can find some additional information about where we are in the process of migrating the board and setting up our new software here
Thank you for being a part of our community!

I can dial out understeer with more rear spring rate. With the 325lb rear springs, the car had definite oversteer. After lowering the rear and softening the springs, it's probably tending towards understeer, but it really just drove nice. Turns in well and the front grips, but the rear stays in line. On my last run I went off course and then tried to toss the rear out, but the front wouldn't grip enough on the slick sealed asphalt. I want more rotation so I'm bumping the rear springs back to 300 for the next event.
My opinion has been that the rear bar only adds weight. I can't see anything good coming from a rear bar with the rest of my setup. On a near-stock 240, rear bar is fine.

I agree. Just needs that mad tyte - front camber and some war stripes. And side mirrors not folded in.
Do you ever travel to other regions to play? I'm not sure if there are any close but I would imagine one or two in virginia or baltimore wouldn't be too far away. It's always nice to go somewhere else and get a change in scenery. Especially when you start getting bored of your course designers.
I'd question the gauge. This was about -5.5 I think, with the super duper long kaplhenke extended drift spec control arms. There was daylight under the outside shoulder of the tire. Horrible idea...Don't knock the side mirrors being folded in. I'm a convert
Before the last event we had borrowed a camber gauge and so we weren't guessing on the alignment quite as much. With my camber plate maxed out on the passenger side, It was off the gauge at over -6*... which explained why braking felt a little compromised.

They're 1/2"x20tpi, but it sounds OK to me too.A class 10 12mm nut is 10mm tall. As long as you can torque it without stripping the threads, it "should" be ok. .5" engagement is probably ample
