Gotta love forums. IIRC 1:45 with really basic bolt ons and dead RE71's? Canned tune, tomei UEL, megan/proparts coils.

Fwiw I had a Tomei UEL and Perrin 2.5" resonated, with an OE over/mid, just went back to the OE catback for Laguna. I think the Perrin would have blew sound and as you said, lifting sucks ass but...

Torsen allows you to get away with bad driving habits on entry. OSG will punish you for it.

On exit it's the opposite.

Yoks let you get away with everything, blending bad inputs is stupid easy.

Pretty sure Teddie's car for 2019 was:
Proparts Megan's w/ different camber plates
17x9 w/ 245 Yoko
OFT custom tune & UEL
Front bar & endlinks

Camber plates were changed because sometimes the...

Boom. I cant believe ya'll are still debating what's competitive and thinking anything over 5k is the ticket to win.

I ended up cutting maybe 1" off the Whiteline links and used those, but the Racer X endlinks seem to be the ticket.

Seems to me like you need to work with the rear end more and not the front. Try stiffening it and then changing the rake angle.

The car doesn't trail well, imo. Need to be soft with it and have a...

The center rib wears like that for a few reasons. Steering input and car balance over the front end, mainly. Since most 86's are more on the side of entry push/exit rotation, and drivers usually ask...

Perrin 2.5" resonated sounds good and is decent for weight. Makes zero difference with exhaust weight, it's low and centered anyway.
