After exchanging quite a few thoughts with @CSG Mike on my needs and opportunities for improvements, some SPL and Cusco bits will be added. Swaybars will remain stock, there will be less rubber in the suspension, and it should all play nicely with new JRZ doubles.

If you winter drive your FRS be prepared for a workout getting the OEM toe arms off.

I was very surprised how nice the car is for daily driving even with all the mounts and bushings. Our cars are great at having the frame take it all and not have stuff vibrating all over the place like some cars. I would recommend doing all the stuff I've done even for non-track canyon carving enthusiasts. I barely feel any vibrations. I do feel what the car is doing much more and things are more responsive and solid feeling.
I have my eye on the "Whiteline KCA 435 front roll center bump steer correction kit" but haven't bought it yet as I'm undecided if I need it. Here's a list of what I have so you don't need to visit my build thread, even though you should. Whiteline KCA416 Front Camber adjusting bolt 16mm Whiteline Rear Control arm - upper inner bushing (camber correction) KCA326 Whiteline Front Control arm - lower inner front Anti-Dive / Caster Correction Kit KCA434 Whiteline Front Control arm - lower inner rear bushing W0509 WhiteLine Rear Crossmember Mount Bushings KDT922 Positive Traction Kit Whiteline Front Sway Bar with bushings Front 20mm Fixed BSF45 Whiteline Rear Sway Bar with bushings 16mm Adjustable BSR53Z Whiteline Front Steering - rack & pinion mount bushing KSR210 Whiteline Rear Trailing arm - lower front bushing W63414 Perrin Poly Rear End Links Front strut tower bar Perrin front control arm brace Subaru Impreza OEM Conical Washers (Subaru P.N # 20326AA000) RCE TARMAC 2 COILOVERS Whiteline Gearbox Positive Shift Kit KDT926 Perrin Rear Shifter Bushing Whiteline KDT925 Rear Diff - mount in cradle & support outrigger insert bushing MTEC Shift Spring Kit Chase Bays stainless steel clutch line Autozone slave cylinder (smaller than stock)

Your roads must be nice up there (actually a friend from OR here this weekend commented how terrible our roads are).
I'm Ground Controls, solid mounts front and rear and 255/35 Star Specs. The ride is atrocious and loud. And I'm about to put SPL LCAs on the car to get some travel back and be able to adjust the camber. |

You seriously have to see the quality of our roads. It's atrocious.
I'm visiting Portland in about 8 weeks to see if I want to get out of this corrupt, underfunded conservative hell hole! |

Love the suspension upgrades on track, very tight and precise between JRZs and metal-on-metal joints instead of rubber bushings but not snappy

It would be helpful if these individual pieces were bundled into packages where each component compliments the other and represents the most logical progression order.
I hate to use an over used term but in effect Stage I Stage II etc.

It is happening also on our cars. Reason is not the high G corners, but the height difference in the car. When you change the suspension, you usually decrease also the wheel fender gap. Factory end links were designed for the OEM height and if you keep the same links, then the stress on them is much bigger. It is just likely to happen failing in high G corners. Too bad that most of the aftermarket coilover brands (even big names) don't provide updated end links. They just take your money and leave you alone to think about all these details. |
