The decision was made after discussing it with the guys over at CounterSpaceGarage. I was setting my car up for HPDEs at Hallett Raceway and MSR in Cresson TX. These are typically shorter tighter tracks. Although, I do race on a few other tracks, I also do quite a bit of AX with the local Porsche Club. But our AX is different in that you see 70 to 90mph quite often on our local AX venue.
In addition, CSG Mike knows I favor a car with rotation. I believe the BRZ understeers quite a bit, so that is why the chosen spring rate is what it is. It combined with further suspension tweaking was going to give a sharper handling car. We were just getting started in setting this BRZ up, when the wife gave me the okay to move ahead with an S2000. As for other suspension mods, we were going to wait and see how the car handled before buying sways. Beyond that I already had Camber bolts and SPL REAR LCAs, so that I could get some decent negative camber before the coilovers were installed.
I almost went 12k,10k. But Mike, said that since this car is still street driven I should go with the 11k,9k that he recommended.
As of right now I am running 17x9 with 245 square on RE-71s.
