Just did my first Test & Tune since 2019 yesterday. Other than playing with the rear toe (currently at 0), the car is nice /& sticks well. Good turn-in and rotation. It seems to like full hard on the Koni Sports, 1/2 turn out from full soft on the rear, full soft on the RSB. Settled on 40 psi cold in the front & 36psi cold in the rear. Tire temps were pretty even all the way across and decent (within 20 degrees F) front-to-back. The full hard Konis seemed to make the rear tires both stay more on the ground and work more evenly across the tread- finally using about 90% of the tread vs. the previous 75%. (FWIW, I'm running 215/45-17 on the rear & 245/40-17 on the front) Gave my new front rotors & Hawk HP+ pads a good running in; time to do the rear. The dusting makes the OEM pads look like the new white Porsche stuff though...
