Most tail happy lowering springs? - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

imo alignment has a huge impact on balance, you can add and remove grip just by turning a few screws. Get whatever lowering springs you feel suit you, sounds like TRD/Eibach or Swift make the most sense and then adjusting camber and sway bars will get you whatever you want.

One of the best setups I've had on this car was camber bolts and camber plates and some good tires.

Good luck.

Also, stock tires are fine. They are predictable and talk to you plenty before they give up.

Oh yeah, didn't mean to imply the OE Michelin's weren't good, only being totally honest in that I had some Dunlop ZII SS on at the time...

Oh, I didn't read it that way at all. Good tires are good too.

I was actually responding to OP's earlier lol about being on stockers. No shame in that.

raise rear tire pressure to 40+ psi, it be tail happy

86Boyz · 12-30-2016, 12:34 PM

the best way to be the totally tail happy is to put your car on ALL FOUR DONUTS

Another one watched Chris Harris AMG donut stunt

It may work for short fun run, but i wouldn't think of really considering using it, even if just on one track-day. Given them being speed/load limited, i wouldn't be able to rely on them lasting much if subjected to heavy drifting abuse, at least not even close as if on normal tires.

Maybe. ARB is a good tuning tool, but when mine was too "loose", I actually stiffened the front up, to get the handling more neutral. That's why I like front and rear adjustable ARB's.

I may be confused. To me, ARB is a company that makes pneumatic locking differentials and random other off-road toys.

To the OP, I can adjust my r at s at bar to a stiffer position to make the tail hang out more easily. $200 solution, although I don't do it to that purpose.
