How’s the initial ride quality? When is test day?

Surprisingly rides better than my worn ohlins even at much higher spring rates. Shakedown will be second week of October, either at Thunderhill West or Laguna.

Working it a little too much I'd say. Still have lots of room to improve as a driver.

Yeah lol I’d think the car could maintain better corner speed than it’s looking in the video. So maybe being smoother can allow you to hold more G and therefore more speed through the corners.

Make sure to get great exits, take advantage of the power of your car.

And good entry (without sacrificing exit) using trail breaking

You didn’t get the complete setup with the JRZ camber plates? I can get -3.9 with the JRZ plates on stock arms, also no issues with a 6” spring with an additional helper spring as well.

I already had vorshlag camber plates, so all I needed were new spring perches. 6" springs with the helper springs raised my front by 15mm even at their lowest. We could've made it work by also raising the rear by 15mm to maintain rake, but we wouldn't have been able to get as much camber all around. Keep in mind A90/A91 front suspension isn't the same as the G2X, so your experience is unfortunately not a helpful data point for us.
