I was able to have a great and long conversation with Lee :thumbup:
Sum it up, for a harder-core DE car or TT cars the current valving is fine and should be fine and no need to service the struts/shocks as it isn't worth the cost. He said if this was a dedicated race car running slicks with 800-900 lbs/in rates to get them revalved.
If I plan to add more tire I can up the damping to close to max in the rear and 3/4 front and be fine with running rates upwards of 600-700 lbs/in. He said for now if you are unhappy with the way it has slight initial understeer is to bump up the rear damping from the 3/4th it is at and add another 1/8th of a turn. If you want more mid-corner oversteer bump up the stiffness of the rear sway. If you want more exit oversteer add more damping in the rear. He said it sounds like from the springs rates, sway bar size, tire grip, and car I'm in a good place the way everything is.
So time to buy drill bits and replace the top hats and keep on keeping on. I think I'll pick up some moog endlinks and go full stiff on the rear sway bar as well as add a hair of a turn of rear damping and I should be all set :thumbup: . Also going to need an alignment for the car. Fix this -2.5 rear camber and drop it down to -2 to hopefully add some more oversteer action.
