I have gone to 2 Skip Barber 2-day schools, 5 or 6 SCCA auto-x schools, probably 20 BMW CCA driver's schools/auto-x events, 2 BMW CCA track schools, 3 Driving Concepts track schools and one Red Line Track Events school.

In addition I began auto-x'ing at the age of 18 (I am now 39) and have typically run about 5 auto-x's per year (on average) since then. Last year I had a dedicated track car and ran 14 track days.

The main secret is that at every event, every single time, I ALWAYS use the instructors. Those guys are amazing and teach me something new every time.

HAYAKU -

So I printed the directions from TIS. It looks like all I need to do is knock the centering pin out, loosen the three strut top nuts and slide the strut towards the inside of the engine bay. Is that right?? How much negative camber do you think that should get me? Thanks for the advice on the tool... I will skip it!

What are your thoughts on the toe settings for the rear??
