Factory bars?....>
I guess mine spent most of it's life with at least a rear 19 and 36/36 all around...Never any rear end issues..
You had a LOT of rear camber..I'm sure the car feels a lot more lively now. You'll get used to it !

well.. Im not sure there are any issues yet....
I really only slung it through one corner (kind of a 90* short merge lane from a southbound road to a westbound road in town and it got some sideways skid going on. I'll have to take it out and really play on more familiar corners and see what it's like. Want to make sure all the nuts and bolts are tight first and for the rain to go away.
Could be the tires were a bit cold. It's cool here out and I notice that if you don't do some warmup corners to put some heat in them, they don't stick as well. Driving straight doesn't seem to really cut it.
Could also be I just sucked at driving that little corner. It happens sometimes

I'm sure...>>>
The car felt heavier and a bit more secure with the old numbers. YOu'll find it a lot more tossable now, but that requires a little different style. Tell me you don't love it in a few weeks...I'll be surprised!

well you had a hell of a lot more rear camber before, no wonder it's not as snug now >
plus the rear toe has changed dramatically - *and* you could have put more front camber in, but I told you that! ;-)
