Post track update:

The car was amazing!! So predictable and controlled without any rubber bushings anywhere outside of stabilizer bars. The Ohlins, upgraded stabilizer bars, new parts, and more camber transformed the car into, what the instructor I had called, a 'grip monster'. The RS-4s were great all day in both wet and dry.

I had five sessions with the first sprinkling rain, the second and third raining with a very wet track, and the fourth and fifth dry. This was my first time on track and by the end of the day I was finally able to push after familiarizing myself with the track, racing line, and car capabilities. I was pushing the high 3' 40s" on the Utah Motorsports Campus full track at the end of the day. I passed all non-911s in the last two sessions. It felt great passing 987/981 Caymans.

The car is way more capable than I am still after my first runs on the track and I really am bummed I won't be able to get back out until next April/May? The data show I should be able to pull quite a bit more time out by staying on the throttle on some high speed turns, braking later/harder and transitioning between brakes/throttle and back and forth quicker, and changing down another gear on a couple of low speed corners.

I have one to a few sets of everything I built for anybody interested. I was really happy with how the whole package performed.
