You can change on track, but it's not ideal because you are supposed to tighten the bolt when the car is under load, which you can't do unless the car is on a lift.

As Joe said, I was seeing consistent 1.2Gs as the max in the corner before the tires let go requiring counter steer. That said, it was my first weekend in the car, and I was still taking it a bit easy.

In car meter will record max of 1.7Gs, but sustained Gs before breaking away is a better judge of tire grip. I was getting more than 1.2 on my original set of tires, but who knows?
I tried. I really did. But this happened and I gave up. Not the track app fault this time. Lol

Joe, I finally had a chance to take a look at my pads (PFC11) after than Thunderhill weekend. They seem to have crumbled a bit in the front. They appear to overhang the rotor a little on the inside now, and look to be falling apart a little. Both sides. Rears look fine. I wonder if they are still ok to use?

More video from thill 5mile:
On pace to do 3:29 or better, but I get the door slammed shut on me by a boxster. Also, a 700+HP Z06 on racing slicks passes me.
Going too hot into T6W and off... again...
I still don't know how I managed 3:30 while driving the west side so poorly. This car is amazing

If it wasn't for Rich and crew, not sure I'd be tracking a Vette.

No. Everything is stock still. Does that mean you don't have to worry about preload?

Joe, I forgot to answer your question. With adjustable drop links you can take out preload. With the car on an alignment rack and the links disconnected you adjust the length so the bolt slides into the bar which eliminates preload. With factory links you have to live with some preload. It's why you typically have to have both wheels unloaded to get the sway bar bolt out.
