Preliminary unscientific camber gauge measurements have the car at -4.0/-3.9 as it sits, with the plates at "max caster, lots of negative camber" and the OEM camber bolt at max negative camber. Nice. The goal is -3.5 with +6 caster - we'll find out soon.

I set the ride height to 13.6" all around as well. I figure that this should be a good starting point, and if there's understeer I'll play with tire pressures, raise the rear height or stiffen the rear bar. Last year, the car was really loose in the end of October and in November and a "safer" setup would have been good. So I'm going to start there this time, especially since the season may start off in those sorts of temperatures and need a little calming down.

Wednesday: alignment and 90K/pre-tune checkup. The car is getting ProTuned by P&L Motorsports, aka Jorge/Riftswrx, on the 28th. Hopefully I can get some of that midrange torque back.
