Curiosity question.
Why do Tein SRCs have a remote canister on the rear but not on the front?

Space. The fronts have enough internal volume (as far as tein is concerned at least) to not need them. The rear shock bodies on our cars are already really short stock. Then you make them shorter to improve performance when lowered and you start cutting into the needed volume of nitrogen/oil for effective operation. So, add a canister for the gas. Makes assembling the adjustment mechanism easier as well.

Cheers

You won't have any adjustment except toe in the rear.

@CSG Mike :


Negative or positive camber at the front? I've gone with the Whiteline/SPC camber bolts.

Did someone say positive camber?

Because the fronts are an inverted strut, while the rear is a traditional layout damper. If the front had an external cannister, you'd need to mount it in the engine bay, but they were able to package everything together without the need for an external.

Remote canisters are nice, but do add to the cost...

Awesome thread! thanks for helping out the community like this. I'm picking up an FRS on saturday to replace my current 335i. I AutoX once a month and do track days about every other month so the running costs on the 335i are getting a little excessive to say the least. But thats besides the point my question is with the same track time above on the FRS (dual purpose track/dd) I was wondering what spring rates do you guys thing will be good option? I'd rather focus more on the track aspect than the street aspect.

I was actually looking at the RCE Tarmac 2 Clubsports as in my research those seem to be the best bang for the buck in terms of the track performance I'm looking at. Would I need camber plates for those? I plan on running 18x9.5 for the street and probably 17x8 on track.

Thanks for any advice!

First question is what kind and what size tires do you run?

Our T2 Clubsports are a good choice for dual purpose cars. Lots of track, street, and auto-x development and they're being used extensively by FR-S/BRZ guys and girls for all of it.

I plan on running 265/35/18 Hankook V12 for DD duty and 245/40/17 Hankook RS3 for track/autox.

I can second this. Honestly, I truly forget I'm even running the T2s (400lb springs) when I'm driving around on the street.

It is a night and day difference though on track, I absolutely love them.

I already purchased springs and planning on buying struts later on. Is there such thing as a height adjustable strut? And would replacing the OEM struts with aftermarket ones add anymore of a drop or would it be the same as just the springs plus the OEM struts??

With a fast and furious avatar to boot. lol Adjustable coilovers fit the bill for being adjustable. Typically changing out the strut does not lower the car any more, but I've seen fixed perch struts that have the perches mounted lower effectively giving you a drop. Bilstein make some I think, not so sure.
