I come from 9 years of having a 99 S2000, which I used to track often until I started to get a little bored of doing it. I haven't and probably won't track the 86.

The S2000 when pushed hard would...

Interesting you post this as I have KWv1 that the T0s are based on (revalved by RCE apparently) and I have the same complaint. In a lot of ways they're very good; the handling is much sharper and...

No I don't. I did one side at a time with the one jack, which I know isn't right but it's still got to be better than torquing them at full droop.

I read a thread on here where somebody had some...

Did you torque up the endlinks with the car on the ground / with a jack under the arm to simulate the same?

Top hat orientation

I fitted KWv1 coilovers a couple of months ago and obviously wasn't paying enough attention as I've realised I have one or other top mount in wrong.

These are actually "TRD uprated mounts"; I'm...

I've come from 9 years of an F20C S2000 and to be honest the GT86 always feels a little faster. I know it isn't really, but it's a perception thing of having a little more torque lower down.

It was an opinion not a statement of fact. But what are the reasons for going for lowering springs other than cost? Are you saying that the OE dampers are the best that money can buy even when paired...

Did you torque everything at the correct ride height? Are the endlinks adjusted to the same length? Are the top mounts in the right way round?

You can't adjust caster without adding extra bits.

I recently changed to RE002s (can't get RE003s yet here). The ride is noticeably worse over Primacys it has to be said, but it's all worth it when you come to a corner. So much better.

I think the Flex A have the hydraulic bump stops and are rebuildable, but does anyone know how these compare performance wise?

Also wish I'd read this first. Right hand side wasn't a problem, left hand side now buggered. I don't know how much damage I've done trying to get it in.

The throttle delay is the thing that bugs me. It's okay at higher rpm, but after two weeks it still feels quite clumsy to drive around town.

Not being able to switch it on and off with a key.
