Rolled under the car, made sure everything was tight and found the source of my dropping of goop(Diff bushing is starting to go).

Adjusted the coilovers, lowered it / gave it some more pre-load.

Gonna throw camber in it tonight by using a caliper gauge and do my best, since the shop i took it too for an alignment was incompetent and couldn't give me the camber i needed. Told them how to adjust it, and still couldnt do it.

Race prep for next weekend, basically complete.
Did you ever had the Z corner balanced? If you did, and you adjust the ride height/ spring preload. That will effect the corner balance.

When adjusting camber. That will change the toe. And adjusting the toe will change the camber. So be aware
