I've had a few runs where having a passenger has been my fastest run. This was when by BRZ was stock and was kind of loose in autocross. I never thought it was "too loose", I could drive it no...

Hmmm... just saw a stranoparts post saying that full front koni struts (not inserts, full replacements) will be available 7/16. Good news! Looks like inserts are still available too.

I'm really surprised how short that tire was available for. Seems like most other tires run for about 3-4 years and can be competitive throughout it's entire duration (Z1*, RS3, R1R, etc). The Z2...

Do C Street twins really run into hitting the limiter that often? Locally I would think it doesn't happen frequently, but I don't know about nationals-style courses.

I think bar and shocks are about even - for a BRZ, I would try shocks before the bar. FRS I'm not sure since it oversteers more, but I haven't driven a stock FRS. And brakes also I'd move both of...

So that makes me wonder how a 245/40 Z2 might do. I've read all about how street tires don't like to be pinched but it seems to work well for the Z2.

Great info, thanks TRev. Did you stick with the 225/45 or did you go to the 235/40?

I've read that street tires don't like pinch, but has anyone actually tried a 245/40 on a 17x7 to verify?

What do you guys think about the twins against the 370Z in C Street? It doesn't look like there's a lot of data in the 370Z in RTR trim.
