Aligned a locals FiST that has been looking for handling gains with ST STX coilovers. Increased the front camber to -2.5, +4 caster & 0 toe.The owner wants to look at installing my old rear spring (8” Swift 6k) setup to help with response and rotation. I’ll be going to 7k rear springs while still using off the shelf Bilstein B6 on BC adjusters shortly.

I wouldn't put that much salt in the car 😂. It's actually Boca Chica Beach in Brownsville, TX. It was cool driving around with so much open space on the beach and no one around

You almost did go literally to Mexico (not the figurative land everyone mentions for logging/tuning/street racing functions).

I haven't done it yet but at some point today I am marching outside to track down whatever the god damn fuck has started rattling around near my passengers' side footwell and gluing it into place even if it is structurally important. It is driving me insane.

Out of curiosity I installed 7k springs on the rear & the B6 damping seems unbothered, probably should have tried 8k…

The front struts reached their limit at 4.3k…

Anyways, the car is smoother and responds quicker with a better balance of grip compared to the 6k springs I was running for the last 18 months/40k+ miles.

You guys in those super hot states need one of those windshield sunshades.
It's been pretty hot here in North Carolina, up to 104° one day, and having one of those really helped.

I've been thinking of ceramic tinting my windshield to help... Sun shade is cheaper though lol

They can definitely help keep you from burning your hand on the steering wheel or your butt on the seat.
It also can't be doing the interior materials of your car any good being that hot.

Those temps are...just wow. :eek:

Where is the temp sensor in these cars? I've noticed it's always higher than my weather app by a decent amount, but things are pretty moderate here in So Cal.

They're mounted on the crash bar, magnetic gray is my color so it gets plenty warm

I got 5% ceramic in the back and 20% front sides, 70% windshield. Definitely helps a TON with keeping your bum and hands from burning but the air in the car still bakes you. Since it's only the air tho the AC quickly cools things down. I also use sunshades when I'm parking for long periods outside
