I finally did my first track event in my z. I actually did a track day in my Civic maybe 10 years ago before I ever started autocrossing but still prefer autocross for competition. Might do a couple track days during the off season just for fun.

I'm just happy nothing broke but I do need better pads. Currently on hawk hps but will get a set of carbotechs before I go back.

Also, regarding toe changes through the suspension sweep, it really shouldn't. The way the suspension is designed that would be a highly undesirable feature and would lead to bump steer if the car encountered a bump on one side or the other. From doing my own chassis setup for the last few seasons I've found that you can change the height pretty much as much as you like and that will only affect camber. However, once you correct or adjust camber it will throw off toe.
