Eric,
I appreciate your thoughtful and thorough response. I also share your main perspectives around keeping it simple and not overspending. I'd like a 'set-it-and-forget-it' setup as much as possible. I've been racing mountain bikes for a lot of years and there are so many products with so many adjustments, and I've learned over the years that most of that stuff is a nuisance, not a benefit. My focus in the coming years will be on my driving...I don't want to be doing a bunch of fiddling with suspension settings...knowing that half the time I'll probably be hurting, not helping, the situation.
I'd done tarett camber plates to get more camber (I'm at -1.9) in front...are you using the gt3 control arms to get your add'l camber? and are you running them with stock upper plates? and stock upper in the rear it sounds like...are you using the gt3 arms back there too?

I'm using the stock upper mounts front and rear. I have the GT3 "street" control arms on the front and I'm set at almost -3.25 right now. I use the stock control arms in the rear.

I replaced the upper strut mounts front and rear. My stock ones with 130k miles were all cracked up.
The front lower control arms got changed to Gt3. I changed the rear toe arms to the tarett adjustable. I have tarett drop links front and rear...that's it for the suspension.

and..
Eric,
I just saw your post over on pelican parts about the shifter cable upgrades. I've had the cables pop out of the rear mounts...zip tied back in...and I've had hard shifts / no ability to shift a few times on the track...I'd like to get my hands on some of those upgraded parts if you ever put them into production.
