I'm with you Stephen, I like a more stable setup, Sean usually creates some good neutral setups. One reason I race a 968 instead of my 911. That said I did try Jusin's setup last night and after adding 2 clicks in the rear wing and learning to drive differently I was able to make it work, but still always catching the car.

Disclaimer - I suck at setups, I use others and modify them like the caveman autocrosser I am.
Usually I like Justin's and Julian's setups, as well as some others. Typically I will run them, nearly completely untouched for practice and qualifying. I then add in 1-2 clicks more rear wing and 1 click of more front sway bar for the race. My outright speed isn't quite as high but every off track mistake I've ever made in a race involved oversteer not understeer so this strategy works for me. I'd rather turn a million high 1:17 second laps than one low 1:16 and crash out.
EDIT: I forgot to do this last week. Thus 2 spins but some decently fast hot laps.

Justin's setup is on 5gal. I always practice on full (~15g) fuel, as to me I notice a big difference in the RUF when the fuel gets low and I like to know how the car's going to feel in a race. I never do separate race vs. quali setups. The RUF seems to like fuel in the tank - extra weight over the nose? - to me..

I have triple 120hz and a rift. I need more time in the rift to draw any big conclusions, but I am seriously tempted to go DK2 rift exclusively. It will be a no brainer when the consumer version comes out. Rift all the way. If you are thinking about 3 60hz monitors, skip that and go straight to the rift.

First I'll need a new computer and a graphics card that will actually draw everything. I keep meaning to but that's more then a set of tires.

DK2 - 100% ditch the triples IMO.
