The only mod I'm considering for the track is SPL Toe Rods for the eccentric lockout + camber and a rear cradle lockout (i experience a decent amount of wheel hop). Thoughts?
I did both on my ZL1 and it’s great so far. The cradle lockout kit makes a HUGE difference. It makes the car feel like it actually has 650 horsepower haha. So much more direct than stock. With the SPL links I think they improved straight line stability, but there was not as much a difference. That said they were more to keep the alignment consistent than an up front performance change.

FWIW my car is also lowered on BMR springs. No issues with some spirited driving on the street, but no track time. I did the mag ride recalibration and got it aligned to track specs as well.
