    Something I forgot to bring up was I went to @Motherfnmonsta 's shop and got the alignment dialed in before dragon camp in oct. Didn't go super aggressive as I've got some hammering to do and endlinks to change to stop them from hitting the frame rail up front. So I left the alignment tame on the camber. It was like -2 front -1.6 rear. For this car -3.5 and -2.5-3.0 would be way closer to ideal. The rear spc camber arms and vorshlag camber plates should get me there. In other news I'll need to replace the front shock inner body bearings/bushings as they were pretty sloppy before I even really got put some real load into the suspension. I'm sure the shock builder will just send me some as he just rebuilt these.

    Note the Bluetooth shock, nice little trick to get at the rear camber arm without lifting the car or removing the wheel.
    Funny enough I bought these gen juan wheel like 5-6 years ago for my mazda 6 and dipped them black because they were so rough. They came off an 07 and the tpms still works to this day with OEM sensors. I've had these around for years and they used to be my "snows" for the 6 when I wasn't running summer tires in the mountains. They are great for parking now cause they are bald as a mfer and keep my competition tires out of the weather. You can see I always have meats on hand. I also have a 3rd set of 225 wide comp tires too but they are so old they'd 100% be off pace. Going to daily those on the speed once the weather gets nice.
