Drew, thanks for the ROAR nats foam setup.

I used it this weekend at Fastcats and it was great from the start, allowing me to focus on driving instead of managing the car.
I was trying to get more steering (esp. low speed steering) out of it in hopes of improving lap times. I went to white rear springs, 1.4mm front bar, and 2mm rear hub shim. These changes seemed to help, especially with maintaining steering in the long medium speed corner. They also made the car lift occasionally, though not quite roll. It never spun out.

I should also mention that I didn't have the parts to totally duplicate the setup, so I had to used 600/400 oils and plastic hubs/knuckles.

Traction seemed pretty high.

Any thoughts? I guess I'm wondering if I could have gotten more steering without traction rolling. The 1.4mm front bar seemed to be a very minor change, which surprised me.

The setup was really nice to drive. It didn't get tail happy when I lifted, so I could make mistakes and the car didn't punish me.
