Update on the Popping Issue: It is more of a popping sound that a clunking sound. This happens when I have the wheels more than 40% turned. It's not loud but is definitely noticable by me. None of the instructors noticed it though when I was driving, or maybe they thought it was a normal sound to hear and never pointed it out.


I just did a Skills Day with the Porsche Club here in Seattle. The car handled even better with the RCE Springs and the alignment.

Slalom: The car felt more settled and was better at keeping the backend in check. It allowed me to go faster through it.

Skid Pad: I was less prone to understeering and oversteering. It needed more gas to get the tail end loose.

Handling Oval: Tires were definitely the weak point as I am still on the Stock Tires. Entering the corners with heavy braking is good, but you still need to feather very lightly the gas as you unwind the corner. Also having too much speed on the turn causes understeer. (This was the case even before the suspension upgrade)

AutoX: People were saying I was staying flatter than the other Stock BRZ doing the course today.

DD Ride Comfort: I did not feel any difference with the Stock Springs


Truline quoted me a price and not by the hour. They did keep the car overnight though.

For the Camber, I'm not the suspension expert, truline are the suspension experts and that is what they said would be reasonable compromise for a DD and AutoX.
