Well I got my second practice day on the rug yesterday. Noticed a few things that I'm going to have to work on. First, like a few other guys who posted here I noticed the rear end of my car has started to wash out in switch backs and long fast corners. Tested most of the obvious things to fix this but ended up removing the rear sway bar and the rear top deck brace to fix the problem. I really don't feel this is the way to fix the problem but it worked and lap times dropped... Also noticed that my pistons/shocks allow a lot of "Blow by" which made my shocks feel like they have no dampening. I was using 40 and 37.5 wt oil with yok pink and blue springs. Maybe I built something wrong because they just don't feel right...
