Shock settings and sway bar adjustments are for tenths of a second, and you may just make your car an ill-handling pig and never know why. In my opinion the best thing to do is get comfortable (read: fast) with the car as is, then start adding parts one at a time. The really fast guys can drive ANYTHING fast, regardless of suspension or tire setup. All I took with me on sundays were a tire gauge, air tank, and a notebook my first year racing. Hell, even last Sunday we had a T&T event locally and I didn't even take a tire gauge since I had put on the JIC's since last fall. All I wanted to do is see how the suspension changes affected the car. This weekend is our first points event and I'll start tweaking then.
