This is the latest setup. Lowered the front 1/4", lowered the back 3/4". Front camber a -2.6, rear at -2.2. Front toe -.02 degrees combined, rear toe +.06 degrees combined. Installed a 22mm front bar set just softer than middle. Missed top time by .5 seconds to a very fast FP Boxster.

Well its been almost a year with this setup and I can say it performs very well. I'm not sure if I want to stick with the A6s next year or go to a slick.

Saturdays PCA event, took second out of 32 cars.

Nice driving Woody. Sounds like your setup is working the way you want.

Of course once you go slicks, you'll never go back. Instant time reduction, but then it's a good idea to stiffen up the car otherwise you won't get the full advantage.

Yep, I intend to do that this winter as well.
