[quote=strat61caster;2590918] The reality is for the average guy about $2k in coilover/suspension and <$1700 grabs you brand new RPF1's with RE71R's mounted right now and you've got a car that's a blast to drive with a ton of adjustment and setup potential that will run pretty well locally. You can skip the header and tune, bushings, fancy diff and high end coilovers and still slide it around like a maniac. At only $165/tire for 245/40/17 RE71R's right now and the plethora of coilovers available under $2k you can have a lot of fun for not much more money than CS imo.[quote] Man you can't skip the headers+tune, thats the best part! :P But no really, the headers+tune really make the car more drivable not just in autox but even as a daily driver and even on track days. I have a really hard time going back to stock cause the car just feels gimped now running stock That power band increase in the 4000rpm area just makes everything so much better. Quote:

I did put a low end number for wheels/tires... It should be closer to $2000. |

The great thing about these cars is that people impulse buy them, realize they're not practical for their lives and promptly part-out and sell them. There is a plethora of used parts on the market. The only things I've purchased new for my car have been the Helix mirrors and the Perrin front sway bar.
KW v3 w/Vorschlag tops $1700 17x9 w/Bridgestone RE-11 $950 TRD rear sway bar $100 SPC LCA's $95 OpenFlash Tablet $375 etc... In total I'm into my car for about $4000

As a side note while reading up, noticed the Whiteline roll center correction kit is illegal, probably repeated info but it was on the 'I need to investigate' list until now.
Now that, that might take a trophy away from someone...[/QUOTE] I thought the whitelines roll center correction kit used different length ball joints, is it just spacers they use? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk |

Edit: lol sound just like the guy I laughed at on the last page for saying the SPC bearing is totally illegal and you'd be a jerk for using it.

CORRECT!
Whiteline roll center correction kit "IS NOT LEGAL". With that said you can always write a letter. |

Seems silly that you can remove the sub frame to burn out bushings but can't unscrew a tie rod.

Edit: And imo not in the spirit of a 'street class' which would push car owners towards investing into engineering consultation of dynamics for those that can't do it themselves if there isn't an adequate off the shelf solution. Rules shouldn't just ensure equal, quality, entertaining competition, they should also keep costs reasonable. Last edited by strat61caster; 03-24-2016 at 06:11 PM. |

I really wish there was a rear swaybar where the softest setting would be stock or even little less and the max setting about 150% stiffer than stock. 4 holes for adjustment.
At Dixie, with 16mm Whiteline in the softest setting, the car was annoyingly loose. At Wilmington, the same setting would not even be enough. With the Q300, changing the sway is PITA. |

http://provenwicked.com/product_deta...&CID=OA==&VID= http://www.elephantracing.com/suspen...blade-type.htm So the flex comes from the blades, adjusting or swapping the blades out should be as easy as any other sway adjustment. But I think we need a bend of some sort in the middle on both bars to not hit other things. |

That looks like great solution, except little too much $$$. The bar itself could most likely be moved back, using spacers, so we wouldn't need the bend in the middle.
When I had my Civic, I used the ASR bar and that is the type of bar that I'm looking for. https://www.asrparts.com/collections...llow-bar-mount 4 holes for adjustments, but more importantly the center section is available with different wall thickness, so you can really cover any stiffness you desire |
