In the three years I’ve tracked my BRZ, I’ve never logged. I just check using my scan tool after a session is finished.

They’ll be fine for both, but will be pretty far off any dedicated autocross tires because they are designed to work best hot as they’re an endurance tire. So if you can hot lap they’ll get better...

The damper is the same length. The stud is shorter. That’s all. The coil overs work great. I sold them to Pat and did the fix. It’s solid.

Hey Justin, the car is making stock power right now. Shifting into 5th will help lap times a lot. I only drop to 4th for turn 4 and focus on carrying as much speed through the corner as possible.
