awesome. It will be epically fast I'm sure although i am equally intrigued by the Nismo GTR.

I assume you are keeping the spyder?

That is the plan. Still need that car to scratch the manual itch. I want to keep the spyder forever...

As Mooty's official motorsports engineer living on the other side of the country, don't listen to him! In all seriousness, you don't want more camber. Your intuition to install a larger front bar is correct; follow that instinct.

A ton of rear camber is only for 997s, not cars that already rotate too well.

Just my $.02.

So a larger front bar would allow for less aggressive camber? The car is stable under braking and feels neutral to me in the corners running -2.8F/-2.4R. I'm not interested in changing the handling characteristics of the car, but if my tire wear comes up uneven still (so far looks even), then maybe a larger front bar is in order.
