I'm assuming so...

Anyone posting here order the default rates??

So close to ordering "something" just need to make the (right) choice of coil over and combination.

I ordered without changing the default rates. The box had "280" written on the outside so there is a possibility I got 280 for both springs. No matter which rates I ultimately got I spend 0 time at the track and love the ride so far.

For those asking about alignment WITHOUT ANY camber correction from bolts, bushings, or LCA'S. I am lowered 1.25" all the way around on the stock tires. Not an alignment expert at all so tell me how it looks:

You may want to edit that PDF as it has your VIN # in it... if that matters to you. Interested to see what RCE has to say about the alignment. The difference in rear camber is likely what I'd want to take care of. Maybe a bit more front camber too, with the Subaru camber bolts.

I ordered the standard rates, 225/280. I'll let you know how they are in a week or two, whenever they show up and I have a chance to get them on and settled.

Thanks, edited it. I really know very little about alignment numbers so I am anxious to see what opinions are. I only DD.

It's not bad...you're in the range you need to be for a DD. I'm just SUPER alignment anal and would like it to be perfectly even left/right for camber.

A tiny bit more front camber and evened out rear would be nice but you're still in good shape for a DD. Toe is fine.

Hmm - Let's say I get my Zero's this week - and i want to install them before my track day - will i be ok w/o an alignment? I see my rear camber kit is on backorder.

Got my order in for the Tarmac 0's finally! Can't wait to put these bad boys on and have the clearance I need. Not to mention, these things look absolutely awesome. Thanks for all the advice and assistance Myles. A+ service from @Racecomp Engineering

If you're hesitating, don't!

280/280 I believe. They thought that would be best for a DD/spirited that may see a track day rarely.
