Thanks guys! Looks great!

One sad thing though, I realize Speed Element's FRS is a lot lower than 1.25" But thank you all for your pics, without them I would have no idea at all.

Yeah it looks a lot lower. A friend on BC's is lower than me for sure, I think he is at 1.75".

Yes, use the OEM bolt up front and you can adjust camber via the slotted strut mount as others have said.

You should be able to get close to that drop...however I would stick with 1.5" or higher. 1 to 1.25" is a sweet spot.

So this is the ride height I am trying to achieve (This is speed element's FRS, on the same spec wheels and tires, but running some form of prototype coilovers)



How low do the RCE tarmac 0's go? Is this height achievable with the tarmac 0s? By all means, I want to go with RCE/KW over stance or BC if possible.

Thanks in advance.

Brian

I think you can, you don't really need to and I wouldn't.

Sorry for bringing up an old thread but just wanted to make sure. We are supposed to use the oem crash bolts (Subaru part #901000394) over SPC camber bolts right?

How much negative camber is everyone getting up from with the slotted strut and OEM crash bolts? Im hopeing for -2. Still debating between the B8/RCE Tarmac springs or the Tarmac T0 with the 350 rates. If I dont have to buy Top Hats with the T0's to get the camber I want then the price wouldnt be too much different.

Just to confirm, while keeping the factory OEM bottom 14mm bolt, it is OK to use another OEM bolt 14mm (not SPC/WL camber bolt) on the top slotted hole without slippage?

Also, you think I'll be able to archive -2.5?

Thanks

I use the 14mm crash bolt top and bottom. I can get up to -3 camber just doing that. I torque both bolts at 129 ft-lbs and have not had them slip.
