Just measured mine again...with the 50-200 springs I'm at 345mm center of wheel hub to fender (about 20-25mm lower than stock) and I have about 15mm of thread on the coilover to go lower. I have...

Someone's gotta make side mirrors. My skills aren't quite that good but that would be really cool.

Yes.



The "OEM crash bolt" is essentially using another set of the OEM lower bolts in the top hole/slot. The standard OEM bolt for the top hole has a shoulder which takes up space and prevents...

Using the "OEM crash bolt" is almost automatic for me at this point...easy and reliable 0.5 degree is nice to have.

Our SS1/SS2/SSR camber plates should give you more bump travel at a given ride height vs the Vorshlag plates, but the Vorshlags give you caster and I think you can get a little more camber.

Correct, adjust ride height with the spring perch. This adjusts preload + bump + droop. You don't really have to worry about preload. As you adjust ride height, you're trading bump between droop...

Yes it's squared, but the motion ratio for a 2nd gen is not 0.75, it's closer to 0.78. Either way, what some are aiming for is called "flat ride" which is in reference to natural frequencies. I wrote...

Any that still use the OEM upper spring perch won't have that problem, but may raise the car instead. The Verus plates with the slightly recessed design will likely only be a minimal change in ride...

The way the Raceseng camber plates mount with their integrated upper spring perch on OEM style struts reduces bump travel a decent amount. They're great plates with coilovers.

Have no experience with the Teins, but I bet they could be adjusted to be comfortable at least. The Bilsteins IMO are good but I'd trim the bumpstops (internal in front). They're too long.

When the spring perch is set, the KW camber plates will have the car lower compared to OEM mounts and pretty much every other camber plate. This is good because they add bump travel at a lower ride...

Mostly to add back some ride height, my car spends a lot of time in the city. I didn't need a lot of camber from top mounts either. Plus they're a little more comfortable which is nice in the city.

It's the cage that makes this tough to sell here.

But dang, a BRZ "basic" with steel wheels, no radio, optional real factory oil cooler, minimal accoutrement, etc. would be awesome.

I have the MCA traction mod on my personal car, with a sort of custom 5k/6k KW/ST 3 way coilovers. I think it would be great with our RCE T2s. It's a good mod.
