Adjusted my KWs a couple of clicks then drove the heck out of it on some backroads and am very happy with the damping. Just shy of 10,000 miles after almost 6 years. Geez, I need to drive it more because I really love the car!

Noticed an occasional clunk/squeak from the rear end. Will get under it this week to see if it's the Watts link or one of the control arms.

Last weekend drove up to Laguna Seca for the historic races, which were awesome, and took the fun roads home.
Now prepping for my first track day in a few months (was going crazy) this Saturday at Streets of Willow.
Changed tranny oil to Redline MTL, swapping to track brakes and wheels/tires.
Also going to try my smaller rear sway bar, 20mm I think, (not labelled and I don't have calipers) compared to the 23mm I have used for the past few track days.
Started going for 360s at my last track day and tire pressures/temps were pretty solid so it's time to step down to the smaller sway bar.
Next "mod" is more front camber, so we'll see how that affects the balance, but I didn't want to change multiple things at once.
 
I also installed Girodisc rotors today.
 
Changed driveshaft to QA1 carbon fiber. Dropping the exhaust is not necessary if you wrap it in newspaper to slide it in from the back end of the car. I don't like the adapter look to the rear attachment point as this may make it more universal for the company? The downside is the gear whine is greater than before at 60 mph on level ground. Tested it out by driving 10 hours each way to Boss 302 Nationals in Marysville KS.
