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.

The hollow one is a little bit lighter and is 18.3mm in diameter instead of 18mm. So you can't really tell without a set of calipers or a scale.

WTB: OEM 22+ BRZ front swaybar

Looking for an OEM 2022 and later BRZ front swaybar (the hollow one).

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.

I'd need to know what those measurements translate to in center of wheel hub to edge of fender (or at least mm lower than stock). I do think the 8k springs are a good idea either way.

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.

Your plan is good, though I'd definitely just check ride height first.

Plenty of people tweak spring rates on Tarmac 2s, especially for auto-x. Nothing wrong with trying 8k rears!

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.
