Winter mode. Sorry for the blackberry pictures. Thought the sun reflecting on the paint looked pretty cool.

Going to have to take a look at her some day soon!

Springs have settled to 26" at all 4 corners (measuring from ground to bottom part of the middle of the wheel well. Had an alignment done last week and had the front camber set to -1.2* (maxed in top hole), 0mm toe, caster is between 5*42' and 5*44'. Camber in the rear is a bit off at -1.2* and -1.55* (driver vs. passenger side) and -1.4mm of toe in either side. Eventually I will get some control arms for the rear but over all this is much better than the OEM alignment.

@D_Thissen where'd you get your Winmax pads?

D_Thissen 05-01-2015 11:09 AM

At the beginning of April I did a little bit of a road trip. I was moving from Thunder Bay back down to Whitby, and while most of my stuff was shipped in a truck, there was some things that I brought home in the FR-S. Its amazing how many bags and boxes you can stuff into this car lol. I drove 1500km in 17 hours and not a single hick up. Well, other than a sore @$$! I love these cars!!


Here is how she sits today.

I picked them up BNIB from a forum member who was parting out their car. I believe they picked them up from here http://counterspacegarage.com/ . Still have to install them though :( lol.
