{Warning: pointless nerd post ahead)
Alignment: -3 front camber 0 front toe -2 rear camber rear toe put to OE settings (maintain inherit rear end bite + allow for hitting the throttle sooner to take advantage of the active diff).
OK so I put the bars, upper control arms and coilovers on the car. To put it shortly, the car is transformed through and through. It now turns in with the same immediacy as the Boss 302, but has cornering limits so high that it cannot be explored on the street (the Boss nor M3 had this ability). The front-end grip is so abundant with the new alignment that I can be as aggressive with the throttle as I like -- beit on corner entry, or mid corner. The front end doesn't give up, and the car continues on the line I intend for it to carve out.
I even intentionally over-brake for a corner, and mash the throttle to accelerate through the corner completely. I do this on purpose to put it into an on power push situation. Despite this, the car remains neutral...and coupled with the active diff, the car can even be throttle steered early in the corner for some rotation :D
I can go down an off-camber sweeper, littered with expansion joints some 40kph faster than I could before--with reserve. The car simply has more to give. It is both VERY stable and neutral with the whole setup. Stability both on and off throttle is retained. Actually, the car is much more stable and slightly less pointy than when i just had the anti-sway bars at stock height. The car was more entertaining with just sways at stock height. Lots of rotation even on the street, and very immediate turn-in response. On the big track doe, probably a different story.
The nearly 4000lb pig is now is very capable with some nice tires and a proper alignment + increased roll stiffness. The two things that made the biggest difference were the anti-sway bars and the additional camber. It's just nuts. wawawewoo
Now to battle Hatorade at mosport XD

^ this. At least appreciate the car in stock form first. It's perfectly fine.
