Thanks guys, and thanks for the awesome product. I had it out for a short test drive and it feels really predictable mid corner, which was my biggest grip with my old setup.
I need a fender to center of hub measurement and a picture would be helpful as well.

email it to me.

What were your T2's settings when he drove the car? Since it was so good I would be inclined to copy it to see if I like it.

For the other guys running the Tarmac 2's, what settings are you using for AutoX? I have an event on Sunday and I was planning to start out with Racecomps recommended settings. Also, are you guys running stock sway bars or a bigger bar up front?

Hey I dont have the specs on me (they're in our trailer out in TX) but it's the same settings that RCE posted up on their Facebook page; recommended initial settings for the T2. Shoot them an email if you don't have FB and they'll gladly provide them.

If you're going to install camber plates, you might want to wait. Having to take out the entire front suspension to change them would be a major pain.

FYI you can get a lot of camber just using 14mm Subaru crash bolts in the slotted hole. I use the stock tophats with mine and have -3 camber up front right now.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I have camber plates now on stock suspension but might want to follow your path when the time comes for T2s. It's nice to know 3* is possible.

My car was feeling left out so I called Myles and ordered the Tarmac 2. My car will feel even more specialer now in about a week. Yes I had a grammar issue in that sentence! My RCE Yellow springs and Koni Yellow insert shocks are now up for sale, which were great too if you're asking.

So do the 0's come with the conical washers now? I'm really interested in purchasing a set of these.

I don't recall if some people did not get them, I got them early on in a GB and the washers were included.

Just let us know if you need them when you order.
