Last night I ran a few laps with this new set up. (balanced).

Car handled very well for the most part.

On the tripple, major problems. I was bouncing off the ground on landing. The height of take off wasn't very much either.

I began to think "ok.. shock packing... ok.. more dense shock oil..."

then my buddy grabbed my car... and took my front suspension collars down 7threads.. and rear a couple.

I got 2 more feet of air and landed smooth as butter. Every time.

I had problems in the "S" turn... I begin thinking "hmmm... perhaps stuff we haven't gone over yet with camber, toe, roll centers, etc...".

then my friend wanted a try at it.

I watched him drift turn #2 like a pro and come out on a perfect line. He hands it back to me and says, "It's goood."

I said, "Where did you learn how to dial in set ups like this?"

He says... "I drove it."

I love the science behind all of this set up stuff... but man.......... I'm wondering if there comes a point > you just have to DRIVE baby drive...
