The event I was trying to setup for and the reason behind all the stickers.

The car feel great with the setup that I have, but the modification was a very street setup compared to other which half of the FR were trailer in. I felt I was thrown into a lion's den. There was a FRS shootout which I will have pictures and it was nice to know I had RevSpeed editor drive my car and and he races competitively in JGTC so it was in good hands. Nice meeting you Moto. It was great day and a lot fun.

More pictures will be up and I know Moto or someone will post pictures, but here one for now.

How do you like the coilovers vs springs?

I didn't really mind, since it there event and I am just along for the ride. I just really enjoy the track time, I haven't been on for a long time.

For track the coilovers are a lot better of course compared to springs with stock shocks. You can make a lot more adjustments to your driving style and the conditions of different track. The only real downside is normally ride, maintenance, and cost

I hope you guys don;t mind a copy and paste... I have some pictures of Eibach Multipro R1 and front and rear sway bars. The guys from Eibach are very happy with their work and tell me the car fundamental characteristic hasn't been change just improve. The sway bar are front and rear, but currently it only rear adjustable because the front is under revision. I haven't been able to really drive to give honest feedback yet. Here some pictures.

The stance is XXR 530 18x8.75 with +35 offset all around I think, but I have to double check. I am running Hankook tires with staggered fitment, have the specification later. Also I was going to run my new Perrin FRS/BRZ front liscense plate holder, but I was afraid someone might steal it. I will put it on for the show, right now as you can see it just staging.

What size tires are on these?

I have slight rubbing in the rear over aggressive bump with passenger in back seat with stock alignment setting. I am running 18 x 8.75 +35 all around.

Sergie · 07-27-2012, 03:06 AM

hi Pekingduck do you know if those would work with no rubbing and other issues on stock suspension with 235s all around? thanks in advance

I have rubbing in the back with 245, I would not know for sure with 235 all around. I do not have any issue with rubbing in the front what so ever.

Just added stoptech BBK with stainless steel line all around. The fitment was great and my friend who installed it the BBK didn't have any issue installing the BBK. As in performance I haven't able to really to test them out yet. ABS still kick in without any issue during bedding process. I switch out the brake fluids to ATE super blue dot 4 which was great because you can see when the fluid starts since it blue.
