Still on #600ish front springs? That seems like such a high spring rate for this chassis even with aero.
My idea is to run the wheels as close to the center point as possible. I'm not comfortable with the fulcrum (?) effect the wheels have on the bearings when they start to go further and further away from OEM spec. It may just be in my head but rounding corners at 190KM\h with huge spacers and/or a wide setup (I know I'm widebody) has me running mental checks as to whether this is the time the car packs it in.

Could be my age (33 years old) and my kid playing a factor but I do recall this not being an issue a few years back. Long story short, I'll be forever slow. Hah.

You could be right about the spring rate. A few pages back, I sorted out the suspension frequency of my setup and they appeared to be decent. Any thoughts on that?

Unfortunately, I can't. I have since installed turbo inlets that block any material view of the belt routing. If I have to remove the inlets for whatever reason, I'll be sure to snap one for you.
