I know these aren't technically legal for SCCA solo yet due to the tread depth, but IIRC the A052 wasn't at the beginning either. It would be an easy change to increase the tread depth to sell more...

Keep in mind this is with those particular length springs too. Using a different spring length will wildly change those measurements.

RCE SS-1's (6k springs, even), with their camber plates up front, OEM ones in the rear.

Vorshlag vs RCE/KW camber plates won't make a huge difference in height between the two, comparing the two...

If they're similar to the SS-1 and SS-2, they don't audibly "click". They do have some notch feeling when it's in the next setting, but I know one of mine in the rear is kinda vague.

It's best to...

My 2017 does this. Always has. Same thing - seems to be fine when everything is cool, but you hear it when it's hot out and you've been driving a bit.

I'm coming into this a bit late with all the responses. I think your camber is generally ok. I run -4F/-2.5R, so you're at least in the ballpark. I also run 6k springs all around vs your 7k, but...

For what it's worth, back in ~2012 when I bought my 2004 WRX, the front boot near the downpipe was seeping just like this. I put a worm clamp over top of the existing clamp and cleaned things up. It...

I'm surprised someone didn't go down this route sooner. We saw good results from overfills, so increasing the oil capacity down below seems like a logical better fix.

I know you can't really post...

I currently have the Grimmspeed stubby knob (~600g). Overall I do like the feel of the knob. Doesn't get hot or cold ever surprisingly. I like how it slides into gear well with the added weight.

To echo your comment, it's been generally quick for me. At least acceptable. No more timing out or blank pages - which is a huge improvement.

For what it's worth, I don't really care for them either, however this weekend that changed a little.

The thing I don't love about the Grimmspeed bar is it only attaches to those bolts/points the other two triangulation points attach to. It's similar to the Perrin bar.

This might be ok, but at the...

Did a very worth while test and tune event before this one to get some details figured out and it made a big difference. Best finish of the year so far locally.

There isn't going to be one.

Just my opinion, but strut bars are going to be a thing that's super subjective, even if there's a way to calculate if they do anything.

Take swaybars for example....

A couple things. Front bar could go to stiff, rear bar could go to soft. Personally, I'd set the rear to soft. I don't see the need for any larger/stiffer than the 15mm 2017+ on these cars for the...
