I am shooting to make it for the April 8th track event at Buttonwillow raceway... Pretty fast and flat track where I hear you are mostly in third and fourth gear (but I have never been there)...

My car has been down for over a year now and this weekend I am planning on turning it on again and driving it for the first time with the "new" setup...

Other than dropping in the twin scroll KAT, a LSD, and some suspension parts this is what the car is looking like for this event:

225K KA24E - Bone stock, perfect compression, maintenance up to date
Buddy Club Spec 2 80mm exhaust
KTS coilovers
17x9 +20 FN01RCs all around
245-40-17 Bridgestone RE01Rs all around
Hawk Blue pads
Energy Suspension master bushing set
SPL solid subframe bushings
Welded diff

Here are some "how to" style threads about the buildup...

And here is how the car is looking now...

I still have to get the car aligned... What do you prefer?...

The laser/computer method or the manual measuring method?
And what suspension settings do you recommend? Camber, Toe, Caster...
