In some ways some very sage advice, but not for the venue I frequent. Unfortunately, much to the consternation of those who jumped on the v2 bandwagon, the M03 still remains the car to beat. I think I'll just do a diff rebuild, experiment with shock oils and lengths and do the other normal stuff like ride height, toe out, roll bars, etc, etc.

Been at this game a long time so have accumulated a # of spare sets of shocks. I build different shocks and code them. The first # is the holes in the piston, the second is the rebound, the third is the length, the last is the oil. Thus if you see a 30 56 40, that's a shock with 3hole pistons, zero rebound, 56mm long, 40wt oil. I also write the # on the front and ear windows. Change shocks in 5 min or less, rebuild in 30 min or more. Worth it.

I have posted this before, but I don't believe that the vast majority of us can evaluate a set up by "feel" alone. For me the lap time is King, so unless you have a means of measuring lap times, you're just guessing. Many times I've made "changes" that felt faster, but were actually slower. I have a M05 that feels fast, drives great, but is slower than a slug----well maybe not a slug, it's 0.5 sec off my 03.

All the set up advice I give is centered on drivability. Most of the time I really don't know if it will make your car faster. Like my buddy Bensi Lopez says---I can tell you 98% of the stuff, the 2% is up to you.
