Good observation. The rake is something I'm now ready to begin adjusting. I almost did before Road Atlanta but I was tight for time and decided that changing the ride height is something that I really need to document carefully. I don't want to change too many things and then not have an understanding of the impact of any one thing. Its a process for me

I will be at VIR in a few weeks and will adjust the rake before I go. If you have any suggestions I'd love to hear them.
Was disappointed you ended up not going to Road Atlanta.

And thanks for the compliment

As you remove the rake its going to not rotate as much on entry. Just something to think about. I like the car flatter, then use rake or swaybar to change the entry/mid-corner. Two turns of height makes a good discernible change in the car.

Yeah, I wish I would have made RA. But, I'm not racing that much now, trying to do just what I need to win the championship.

Have fun at VIR, was there earlier this year. What a great track.

Cal, those are the springs, retainers and seats and are from evosport as well. They were sold as Ferreas.

Thanks for the insight. I will give it a shot at VIR. I am excited to go. Good luck with the rest of the season. Definitely post back and let us know how it turns out. Hopefully a first place season will help you move your car for a fair deal.

That's the same principle that started the pile of boxed parts in my garage. It's something I don't think my wife will ever understand.

"Do you really need that? No, but I will later, and it's on sale now."

Looks like you have a well prepped car.

Boiler UP!
