Going over double spring pressure usually prevents you from holding max boost to redline.
note that this is true unless you use a 4-port solenoid . 4-ports use boost pressure to hold the wg shut.. so all you need is a spring stiff enough to hold it shut in vacuum and very light boost, most people go with 3psi springs and can push the boost to whatever they want using them.

@Sportsguy83 I'm thinking about going with RCE Tarmac Zero Coilovers for my FR-S, would you recommend them? What are your impressions on them?

Thanks!

They are pretty good. Stock like feel. I had an issue with a stripped bolt in the perch that holds the coil and prevents it from lowering, but not a big deal. A larger bolt made the trick.

Aside from that no major issues. I like them a lot.

James checked in his car and we still have the fuel issue at 15 psi. Looking to get that resolved this week. Dyno will be coming very very soon after the fix is done.

Either weird ECU limiter or speed density implementation in the latest RACEROM
