Yes they are set increments on the TCK plates.
Again if your looking to dial in your camber to very specific settings get GC plates, or another brand. I might eventually do that myself but for now the TCK plates maxed out give right around 3.0 Negative, more if you reverse them... 400F/700R are not that soft :-)

That said, Steve Ott (well known to me and McVaughan) runs our local shop and is an ex-IMSA driver as well. He was telling me about a book he was recently reading about suspension that basically says the car should be absolutely as stiff as possible, and even though that is hard to drive, its the "job of the driver" to sort out the car... and that it will only generate its max grip by allowing the tires to get to their max potential - and that would only occur with a super stiff setup. Dont on me here, I might be missing a key detail to the reasoning.... but I do remember the take home point of this particular book was super stiff is the way to go.

Yeah down force, ride height, surface conditions, all that good stuff should be accounted for when choosing spring rates. Would be interesting to see how much (I'm assuming they do) F1 teams change their rates between their different aero packages.

Anyone take their comp to the quarter mile yet? I want to and plan to. It's not a proper track but kind of fun to race it down the 1/4 mile (lots of pre-run adrenaline!). I'm hoping to be in the low 12's with a tune and street tires.

I have used trackdecals.com - they look pretty good. Also just used one of the decal companies from googling it & never had an issue. I have also just bought some vinyl & stencils from an art store for last minute stuff - but that is kind of a pita.
Since I'm bouncing back & forth between organizations & classes right now I just had a bunch made by Signarama (think they are national) so I can remove & replace as needed. Pretty easy to make the file & they were pretty reasonable. Just keep some 3M adhesive remover handy.

9.5" Front / 10.5" Rear - same as my now dedicated track wheels - except these are 20's instead of 18's. I figured that since I am now that guy that runs a wing on the street I need to have the bling wheels to match. Making a push to finish prettying the car up.
