Oh yeah, previous setup was stock PP/Sachs dampers, Swift BRZ Sport springs, Raceseng plates for track, stock upper mounts after track season.

That setup with the Raceseng plates was severely lacking in bump travel, the smallest bumps on the street would bottom the fronts At the track I'd also get mid-corner understeer as the outside front would be on the bump stop. Mind you this was after addressing the front travel issue with 6mm spacers for the front spring regaining front ride height lost with the camber plates, and cutting the front bumpstops down to 20mm (from 60mm)


With the stock front upper mounts, it was no problem on the street fwiw...

So, B8's seem to have way more bump travel than the stock PP/Sachs dampers I had to *try* to find the bottom which I did by hitting a speed bump at ~30mph. Normal usage is super-smooove over bumps. Yay!
