Hmm, installer error perhaps (my dad must have screwed up, because I know it couldn't have been me)? I will have to investigate. My car did not get loose until the last run, and that was when I went to a full turn loose in the front. It actually stuck very well in the turns, and I tend to drive in such a way (i.e., crappy) that I get a fair amount of understeer. I was also running on decent concrete, and apparently with a relatively high center of gravity in the front.

Thanks. How'd you do against Kotzian?

Before you tear into it you might give them a chance to settle. I didn't keep track of my ride height, so I don't know if the D-Specs do this, but they might.

Kotzian's pretty fast, as we all know. Basically, he was about 1 sec faster than me run for run. On his third run he did a 35.xxx, when I was in the 36's. I pulled off a 35.7 on my fourth & final run. Of course he saw that and had to pull off a 34.9 on his last. So, my best was 0.8 seconds off Tom's. I know I left time on the course, but I'd bet Tom would say the same, given that this was only his fourth run ever in an RX-8.

I'm pretty happy with the results, but I still have some more setup work to do. The Whiteline bar made the car push, as I expected, but when I went with a 5 psi stagger (39/34, on my last run) it seemed to go away. I may leave it on for one more event, and try some toe-out on the front. That should help on turn-in but I suspect it will do nothing for mid-corner push.

But, in the end, I just need more seat time.

That's nothing to sneeze at.

I was running about 41 psi in the back and 38 psi in the front. I am not sure why (great reasoning).

Can't figure out what I could have messed up on the install to make it sit higher. but I don't know where else the height would come from unless I have some freakishly tall stock springs, which would be my luck.
