Today was the 2nd day of autocross. I found that I had some rubbing on the front in the wheel well on the front of the liners. The front and rear kept on settling more. The continued front settling created the issue.

At mid day I raised front up about 0.4 inches. At the end of the day it needed to be raised a 1/4 inch again on the front. I didn't touch the rear at all because it seems to be pretty stable right now where I want it. My street ride goal is 1.5 inches of drop. For autocross, I'd probably 1/4-1/2 inch less drop to make sure that the car had all the travel it needed. At least at my current compression settings. I'm hoping that the settling has finished. I'll keep an eye on it and post back.

With the second day I had Shabby with his car (same car forum member) for the course. His is stock for suspension so it gave an interesting comparison. We had a lot of fun and both cars looked great on the course. We rode as a passenger in each others car too.

I highly recommend with the KW's that if you autocross only start wth about a 0.5 inch drop to see where it goes. And in general keep an eye on the settling of the suspension. You may need to readjust it.
