Base line setup that came on my SR8 - odd to say the least.

I used the next to smallest kit, and I had plenty of material. But it all depends...

A key to getting this right is to get the right help. My wife and son were much better helpers on the second seat than on the first. 🙂

LOL - I get the feeling my second round, when it happens, will go the same route.  That first one is a steep learning curve.

I was at Spring Mountain this weekend and had them go through the car with me.  Turns out I did a pretty darned good job of setting it up.  My biggest mistake was setting ride height.  I'd raised the car a few too many mm and my rear toe was off by 1 mm.

With new Michelin shoes, a new rear diffuser and dropping the ride height back to where it was supposed to be made a huge difference.  Wow - I thought the thing worked well as I had it set up.  Rear end is still a tad twitchy under trail braking if I'm too abrupt with the pedals but that's just something I'll have to learn and get used to.
