@Club Version watching your Sebring vid now. Those walls are close! What was ambient temp ? 100?
It felt like a 100 but it was between 90 and 95. My first sessions were really slow to learn the track, but it was a blast!

Torn between 18x10.5 apex forged or just go inexpensive and pickup a set of enkei 18x9.5. I'm driving myself crazy looking lol.

Next weekend I'm installing the rear camber arm toe links and front adjustable ball joins.

For alignment I'm shooting for -2.5 front -2 rear. Any good baseline suggestions for toe? Slight toe in rear maybe zero toe up front?

You may want some slight toe out in the front to help reduce understeer. 2.5 camber in the front is basically what you get when you pull the alignment pins. Don't overthink it! Just go have fun!

Toe in the rear should be 0, and some toe out in front.

I'd get about as much front camber as your can without jeopardizing street driving. -3.5* has been good on my crap roads. The car needs front camber for turn in and tire wear.

I’d vote for the forged wheel. 10.5 is wide. Running 275?

Yea I am thinking 275 35. Our local tire guy does tire testing at Indy motor speedway. Ends up with close to 300 sets of 18" tires with a few laps each. Sells them cheap. He normally ends up with a lot of 275/35 sets. And I like the 10.5" look ?
