The last couple of races I did in Mexico tweeked both my front struts so I can not get less than a negative 1 degree camber. With the Goodyear slicks they like 0 camber give ot take a few minutes. So I sourced a set of new struts and when I opened the old ones I found I had KYB inserts, which had about zero compression resistance! I guess that is why the front end banged when I went over some of those bumps??? I thought I had put in Koni Sports up front when I put them in the rear with the 300# springs, but I guess not. I found some Koni # 8641-1077 Sport models for $168 each. Has anyone heard of a better price? If you had, please let me know? I now have a set of tweeked struts if anyone needs abot a negative 3 degrees of camber??
