Welcome to the asylum

FWIW, my 986 ran faster on most tracks with 225/255 stagger. I ran this and 255 square over 8 years with a LOT of comparison data. With the 225/255 setup you don't need a sway change but either staggered or square, you will destroy the RA-1 outer shoulders quickly (1-2 days) unless you get more camber into the car. RA-1 feels best to me with -3 degrees F, -2.5 R.

R-Comp tires= suspension setup changes. GT3 arms and lowering springs are the poor man's track setup.
