Going to Bilsteins was transformative for my car. *WAY* more front bump travel, went from unliveable to being an absolute pleasure to drive on the street and at the track.

They wouldn’t modify points once season has begun outside of unusual circumstances. As it is, with coilovers and 225 A052s on the BRZ I have to run at 3187 lb. which means full tank +150 lb ballast....

Don't need the RCLAs, don't need the "traction mod", going higher is bad for track, lower is better. I ran ~4.5 front with ~5.4 rear springs with Bilstein B8s (same damping as B6, just less droop...

I test-drove an RF last year before I bought my '23 BRZ. Fun! But since I was only going to have one car, '23 BRZ to replace my '17 PP made a lot more sense. Now I have an '05 Mazda3 beater as...

Yeah no way it would stay on stock suspension, would be getting coilovers, roll bar, and a lower and more supportive drivers seat right away. We are spoiled with BRZ seats!

Sachs weren't great for me. Stock, they were unduly harsh over bumps, classic too-much-high-speed-damping. Felt racy/go-karty in test-drives, but not the way good trackworthy damping works. When I...

IMO opposite should be more generally true. If you don't have enough camber, a wider tire should roll over onto the sidewall less.
