Fresh brake fluid and a rebuilt master cylinder have gotten me back to reliable stopping power on track days, so far so good!

Swapped out the old bushings with some new, high-performance ones that should provide a smooth ride without compromising camber adjustment.

Swapped out the old rubber bushings for ceramic ones, should make a noticeable difference on track days with high g-forces.

Had to fabricate a custom plate to add extra rigidity, now the rear end should handle those tight track sessions much better.

After a few iterations, the stiffness curve is just right and the chassis feels stable through those high-speed corners.

Felt like a whole new car out there, lots of roll feel and feedback - now it's time to fine tune damping.

Swapped out the old bushings with some fresh ones, now the steering feel is more precise and stable on both slow corners and high-speed sweepers.

Tightened up bushings gave me 1mm more camber at each corner, should help reduce tire wear on my track toys.

Ran a few laps on Sunday and the suspension felt super smooth, didn't notice any noticeable body roll.

Lowering got a big payback with this adjustment, now the rear feels like an extension of the front while driving hard.

After re-tensioning and adjusting, the bars are now running parallel to each other, which should help reduce body roll during cornering.

Focused on getting the master and brake lines primed up to avoid any trapped air, so far no issues with leaks or fade during a 10-lap session.

Swapped out worn bushings, now the rear end should be nice and snug, no creaks or play when cornering hard.

Swapped out my stock springs for some bespoke units that should handle the track's potholes with less stress on the chassis, now to calibrate damping.
