Me and two frenz ran 255 A052s on an S2000 for two 3-hour endurance races earlier this year. I set the fastest lap of the event on the 100th lap on day one. They lasted the event no prob! I...

So be aware that with the SS plates you will likely lose some front camber as the strut protrudes up above the interface with the srut tower.
My car is kinda asymmetric, I was only able to get -3.2...

If raising the car a bit significantly improved front grip, I'm still *guessing* (even more so) it was more of a front bump travel issue!

Raising the front of the car raises front roll center,...

Going from 15mm to 16mm rear bar (29% stiffer) isn't going to hurt anything and is just about the easiest/cheapest thing to do. Also not likely to help if the issue is really front bump travel and...

If you've been bottoming out the front, IMO that is most of your understeer problem. I'm guessing the Tarmac 2s might have less front bump travel than RCE SS-2 I'm running. I'm at 330F/335R ride...

Akshually...

Wheel rate (what matters) is spring rate x motion ratio *squared*, so with 9 kg/mm springs in back, wheel rate is 9 kg/mm * (0.75)^2 = 5 kg/mm

I don't get why so many suppliers...

1st thing I'd do is swap the stock front sway bar back in. Stiffer rear springs after that.

I'm running 7k front with 9k rear RCE SS-2 on my '23 BRZ with stock sways. It is admirably neutral,...

What are your tire pressures? What you describe is how a Torsen diff behaves when you have rear tires of different diameter, or one is at lower pressure.

Going to Bilsteins was transformative for my car. *WAY* more front bump travel, went from unliveable to being an absolute pleasure to drive on the street and at the track.
