Would adjusting ride height for that track help?

^It could? I think ultimately a stiffer suspension (so stiffer springs to get you off the bump stops and shocks which can absorb some big bumps at speed), staying off the bumpstops, and being careful about the early turn-in is about all you can do. The kink has claimed many a drivers.

What is your idea though? I would love to hear it.

I just sometimes have to adjust ride height if a track I am at had me hitting or rubbing wrong. I have to admit I didnt follow everything you wrote, but I would be super low to be on bumpstops. Can you make some mods so you simply dont hit them? Maybe even cut them? I guess a different suspension is really the answer.
You will figure it out. At least you are on the track

btw, I am on/was on stock suspension at the time. the bump stop issue is from hitting the curb/hump thats at the edge of the kink. But yea, I am working on it. too bad bilstein failed me and sent me a faulty shock. Hopefully I can get a replacement for free, but I am a bit worried since I shaved the tab on the side to fit my sleeves.
