Default First AX (test & tune) of 2012

Relatively cool day (in 40's), but Hankook Z214s and Hooser A6s hooked up well. Installed SRT brakes, springs and John's old AMG shocks via MrMoPar, and CAI from NeedsWings over the winter, and was vary happy with the results. Other mods include front camber bolts, straight pipe from cats, and Les's old rear camber struts (mine is not lowered). Enjoy.

Nice video. Your car looks fast and sounds good too. I wish I could get some film coverage like yours.

How much negative camber are you running in the rear with those arms? I'm going to start dialing in more on my car now that I've stiffened the suspension.

Rear is set at -2.2, and front is -1.6. I'd like to get a little more up front, but I haven't had much understeer with the Hankook Z214 (C71) up front.

The tire sizes I'm running with are a little funky, but it seems to work. I'm running 245 40 18 in front, but will go to 245 35 18 when these wear out since I'm getting a little rubbing on hard cornering. I got a deal on some A6's at the end of last year, but they are only 235 width. It loosens up the rear a little, which helps rotating the car with just a lift of the throttle. When these wear out, I'm going to 265 35 19's.
