Do you lose any bump travel with the raceseng camber plates? They do look great.

We got the 12lb cat-back exhaust on the car.



Here is a video from Sunday, car was way to loose but at least you can hear the exhaust.

Very nice sound (driving too!). Im taking it this will be an expensive catback? I'd like one but funds are short for a bit. If they need a second test fitter.... :P

I may look into this though. When is the ETA?

Not sure on the price or eta yet, I will let you know when Moto-east lets me know.

This is the first design, not sure if it will change.

That looks really cool! Hopefully they use a bigger tip though :/

that thing is pure weight savings.


why not go with just a turn down as soon as you could?

Didn't feel like smelling exhaust inside the car.

If I remember correctly you have more camber in the front than in the rear.
Why did you choose to run this way? And are you intending to reduce the camber difference between front and rear? (I haven't read the entire thread so maybe this has already been explained.)

(I think that too much camber in the front could also reduce braking performance.)

You'll find that most people that autox or track seriously run more camber in the front than the rear.

With struts up front there is little camber gain as the body rolls, but the a-arm/multi link rear has lots of camber gain, so it needs less static camber.

^ Ok, thanks that explains it.
(Because of the 'way too loose' comment above, I thought one remedy could be less camber difference between front and rear.)
