Hope that helps.

Hi Myles -

What if the slot doesn't give me enough native camber (@ ~-1 now and want ~-1.7)?

Can I use the OEM crash bolt on the upper slot hole? Or should I use SPC 81305 for the lower hole?

Thanks,
Derek

We get another shipment in soon. I'd rather pull some measurements from pics and show the travel than using drawings. But yes there is a good amount of droop and bump travel.

I run my car 1 inch lower and I use OEM camber bolts. I get -2.6 front camber.

You will be fine !

I'm sorry but just want to double check to be sure:

Running OEM camber bolt on upper slotted hole. correct?

Anxiously awaiting feedback on the zeros in regards to street daily ride. Was within days of just ordering v3s now these zeros seem interesting as I'm very likely "that guy" as Myles states.

OjiGeorge · 06-09-2013, 02:58 PM

Ok.. so OEM camber bolts are the way to go? I ordered the WL camber bolts and have only been able to get -1.4 and -1.9 front camber with the T2s dropped low in the front.

Off came the yellows and on went the Tarmac 0's. 1.25" drop all around.

How is the ride compared to the yellows? I really am closr to purchasing the zeros. I will probably only go an inch down though.
@Racecomp Engineering can you PM me a price for the zeros?

sent from a Galaxy SIII...

+1 would really like to hear thoughts on what you see from the yellows going to the zero...

Indeed, do share.

FR-S Matt · 06-10-2013, 01:21 PM

That clearance is what I love the most about them. Exactly what I need. I'm curious about the ride as well. Please share!

UnOvertime · 06-10-2013, 06:38 PM

Alright. I have only driven 1 day and about 100 miles on them. The drop is wonderful, I actually stopped and drooled over the car when I left work about how nice it looks, so does it ride as nice as it looks?

The answer is yes. It is slightly rougher than the yellows, but not by much. On smooth as glass pavement, it is amazing and on rougher surfaces it is a good ride without too much bounce. Part of the "roughness" could honestly be from being a .5" lower and could be from me trying to compare every bump to the yellows. I drove about 4000 miles on the yellows. I have not gone and got my alignment yet, but I plan on doing that when I stop working 6:30-6 the first few days of this week.

If you are on the fence about the tarmac 0's because you feel they may be too rough then get off the fence. I love the ride and it feels almost the same as the yellows which I absolutely loved.

Yellows on stock shocks? I think the Yellow/Yellow combo is overdamped personally; I'm looking for something more critically damped without being underdamped/oversprung.

UnOvertime · 06-10-2013, 06:47 PM

Yes yellows on stock shocks.
