WiseFab grip kit not drift setup?
 
Looking into getting suspension setup. I found Racefab in NZ they make all the suspension arms I was looking for which is what I was going to go with, but I saw WiseFab was in the process of developing a grip kit for the FR-S. I have been a fan of WiseFab just want something not so much wider than stock and more for grip. Does anyone have any info on the grip kit if it is out, or when it will be?

Why don't you contact WiseFab U.S. or one of the California distributors?

unbiased opinion with some facts is what I was looking for. A seller or producer of a product might be biased in their favor.

For anyone interested in the track kit it is for sale apparently. I got that info from WiseFab US. Still looking for feedback from people who used this set up, or were involved in testing pre production units to get more of an idea of what people who have driven on the track kit think. Thanks

It is for sale and in stock. I've been talking to Wisefab a bit, I don't know that anyone is actually running the kit yet. I'm trying to get them to sell it without the front camber plates, most people interested in this are going to already have them.

The main difference between this kit and the drift one is it doesn't require replacing/relocating the steering rack or knuckle modification. The rear I think is exactly the same.

Pricing is $2865 for the front setup and the rear is $2800. The only other uprights I'm aware of are from Brypar and they are about $2300 just for the upright. Between the two kits it saves around 45lbs over the stock components.

Thanks for the info. I'm definitely going WiseFab. I have camber plates that came with my Ohlins road and tracks but don't mind changing them to the ones in the kit they look like they lock into position very we'll.

I have the rear kit already and am awaiting some info from Wisefab before buying the front.

The quality of the kit they sell is very good, especially at the price point compared to other manufacturers of similar parts. I will be putting up a full review of the rear kit soon, with stock one side and Wisefab on the other of a spare subframe bolted to the bench. We can then compare the goemetry changes through the suspensions normal travel.

The front and rear kits are fitted to the Evasive Motorsports/Mackin Industries GT86 which is challenging Pikes peak this weekend.

Good info can't wait for that video. Best of luck on Peak. This weekend.
