IMO stiffer rear springs is not a trend....it's the right way to do things for the EVO.

Based on tire temp profiles I'm running too much camber on both the front and the rear. These BFGs don't need nearly the camber as other R comps. People told me this and I backed off the camber twice already, but it's still too much. I think I'm at -3.2 in the front and -1.5 in the rear.

This is something I learned the hard way too. I was running > 4.5* up front for autox events and 2.0 in the rear.

I'm at 3.3*F and 1.2*R right now and it feels very good and predictable on the track and pretty good for autox.

This is with RA-1's though.

When I was on fatter hoosiers... they liked more camber for sure.

I take back my tire temp comment. I did some reading about how to do it correctly - and I let the tires cool down too much as I did a cool down lap and came into the pits. I need to pull into the hot pits and grab the temps right away.
