What config were you running? Did you get it corner balanced at Westend?

How did the KW's feel going over Lost Hill (if you did)?

I was running CCW #25, Star Mazda and no bus-stop.

Didn't do corner weight, I don't think it's necessary for my needs. Car is small, short suspension travel, weight differences with w/o passenger, fuel weight, tire pressure, all these factors affect and changes corner weight constantly, so I opted not doing it. On the other hand, a bigger and heavier car is recommended, which I did on my STi.

Planted. Nothing's wrong over Lost Hill, just a ted bit oversteering coming down, which a smooth line, little bit throttle control and zero counter did the job. However, I had some problem going through Cotton Corners, always oversteered and spun on the first turn after Grapevine. I dialed out rebound, make the rear softer and reduced tire pressure. The car handles much better afterwards. Eventually I have my car setup at Bump 0.5 turn all around, Rebound F: 0.5 turn R 2 turns. I'm surprised how 0.25 turn does make a difference compared to my HKS hyper max II on my STi, which has 30 clicks and it doesn't feel any differences unless you dial like 10, 15 clicks.

Thank's for the info point. All you guys in SoCal are so damn lucky to have year-round vert weather and so many cool racetracks to go to.

Your pics look killer.
