optimal RTR setup
 

So this might sound like a stupid question..but if your planning on staying in Stock rtr class what is the most you can do? Im looking at stock sized RPF1s with RS3s on there. Brake Fluid and Upgraded Pads. MAYBE a lightwieght battery? not sure about that because ive heard that pushes you to STX.

tires
same width/diameter tires. offset can be +/- 6mm
front sway bar
dampers only (must keep OEM springs)

Thanks..just ran into some 9 lb Enkei rims..1600 for a set of four in stock size but 44 lbs of rotating mass? HELLO

anyone know anything about these? ive been looking for a good light set of wheels and coming from a name like Enkei i figured theyd be pretty good quality..just surprised Ive never heard of them around here before. Certainly not cheap but like I said 44lbs of unsprung and rotating mass? Holy Toledo

I've got Enkei's that are right to limit on offset. You can do dampers... and I've got one set of Koni sports in stock yet too. You can do one swaybar change.... and you want a bit more, but not too much front bar. Pads are legal to change, camber bolts (OEM only). Tires, well that's TBD about what's quickest.

That's a typo. The best bang/buck is the Enkei RPF1.

9 pounds? Not correct. RPF1's are just under 16 and you don't get much lighter....

OEM front strut alignment bolts
any exhaust behind the 2nd cat
drop in air filter

lots of info on here regarding the alignment bolts, etc

Also, here's a handy chart that compares allowed modifications across categories:

BFGoodrich Rivals in 225/45-17 on Kosei K4R 17x7, Konis, camber bolts, adjustable front sway bar, alignment maxing out negative front camber. BOOM. :burnrubber:

Enkei's website lists these at ~16 lbs

You can't use those for RTR anyways. They are a 17x8 and you can't use 18's

You have to stick to a 17x7 rim and you have 6mm of offset you can go.

RPF/1's weigh 4lbs a corner less than my stock wheels and tires, and that's with 235/40 Z2's. I was also surprised to see that my car weighed 2680 with 3/4 tank of gas.

Sam? What happened to the not giving all the info away???

Kosei K4R are only 14 lbs and you can use a spacer if you want to max out the track width.

Is this true? I have only seen tirerack listing it as 14 lb. If so it's even lighter than Enkei RPF1 and cheaper.

Yeah, that weight should be correct for the Koseis. I have the Kosei K1 TS on my BRZ, which are the same size and offset as the K4R, but weigh 14.6 lbs, for some reason Tirerack doesn't list them for the BRZ. I originally had them on my Forester XT.
