Are you going to run the stock Flex spring rates? Stock sways?

Nice... I hope you plan to get an alignment before Saturday.
I was asking if you about the spring rates, not the damping, preload or ride height.
The stock flexes come with a 7kg/mm spring rate up front and 6kg/mm rate in the back. This setup is pretty prone to a lot of oversteer. I got 9kg/mm springs for the front and kept the 6 in the back.
If you're still on stock spring rates, I'd consider removing the rear sway bar for this weekend. At least be ready to disconnect it at the track is the car is too squirrely.
Are you planning on getting both front and rear RB sway bars?

Yep, Jon is right, just go ahead and pull the rear sway.
I'll also suggest that you only buy a RB front bar and decide if you want to run the stock rear bar or no bar at all.
I'm running a RB hollow front bar and no rear bar. I'm very happy with the balance on the car. There's a slight hint of understeer on highspeed sweepers that can very easily be dialed out with the right foot. Very confidence inspiring IMO compared to a twitchy car.

I rode in the car with him right after Bo installed the FLEX. His 340 treadwear tires don't perform with the best grip, obviously. I did notice that it cornered flatter on the back roads, but he really needs better rubber to feel the optimal effect.
After Bo installed my FLEX last february, the car felt better, but it wasn't until I went with the azenis and the RB bars that I noticed the biggest difference.
BTW can't wait to see what they will do with good rubber
Jeff will definitely be winning the HPDE championship now! Nothing like sticky R-comps to mask driving mistakes.
