I think even 30mm is too much. To dial out some of the factory understeer I would do 10mm-20mm stagger.

Hmmm... yeah the understeer does suck a little I've noticed, and I guess I'd be making that worse with the fat-*** rears I'm looking at. Do you think running aftermarket sways with the rear at the hardest setting would alleviate it enough?

Official update:
I picked the car up from Berk Technology on Sunday with the stock exhaust back on it. The prototype exhaust system looks awesome in person and I cant wait to get a production version on the car for testing. The production version should be on its way to me at the end of this week or early next week with an X or H pipe. Plans are to get another baseline dyno before the Berk exhaust goes on then dyno again after the exhaust. Yesterday before coming back up to Las Vegas, I stopped by BRIDE seats to test fit new 370Z seat rails. Good news is they fit! Bad news is that they wont get any more in until mid July. After BRIDE seats, I went to Forgestar Wheels and we measured to see if an 18x10" rim would fit up front and also make sure that the 18" rims will clear the sport package brakes. Forgestar is confident that everything will be just fine!

I will be looking for coilovers than have a stiffer rear spring, maybe as much as 14kg/mm vs a 12kg/mm front. I also will be looking for the stiffest rear sway bar I can find.

I'll probably keep contemplating this and the rest of the suspension setup while waiting on the forgestars to be made anyways, and change my mind like 5 more times on tires |

Carbonetic 1.5 way LSD just showed up! It will get installed on Thursday morning.

Unfortunately Big Willow wont be too hard on the LSD compared to a track like Buttonwillow. Big Willow is big and fast, not many tight corners to power out of. What Big Willow will do though is put the Mishimoto Oil Cooler through the ultimate test since there will be A LOT of full throttle, sustained high RPMs and air temps close to or over 100 degrees.
