Also, just to update - after two weeks the Swift 350/350 springs are DEFINITELY the way to go if you track your car even a little.

But - the ride is... bumpy for sure. BECAUSE RACECAR!

Will do. I have an Autox event coming up later this month, followed by a Road Course day and another AutoX. I think i'm going to stop messing with the car for the season, see what i like, what i don't like, then make changes over the winter.

Good approach and baby spring time load more options for so much stuff as it seems to be ramping up every month in popularity.

Hope that helps.

Thanks man, that makes me pretty confident I was shipped the wrong spring rates. Mine all say: 50-200*, but I placed an order for the standard rates.

Tried calling around 11EST today, nobody home. I emailed yesterday with no reply so I tried again today.

Your comments about the handling after the install were making me suspicious so I went to check my coils which are still sitting on the garage floor, and sure enough something seemed off. I wanted to wait until I got confirmation of the correct front spring rate label before I said anything to you. Didn't want to make you do this>

But worth checking at least...

I tried having a look at your springs through the wheel yesterday but couldn't see the markings.

df.dima · 07-16-2013, 12:37 PM

I'll look today. I am going back to the shop for steering wheel adjustment.

I'm going to be installing the Tarmac 2's this weekend on my FRS and mounting some Volk TE37SL Black Edition 18x9s on some 255/35 Direzza Z2s ... so I'll be posting pics about fit and a review of the coils over the next few days ...

Racecomp Engineering · 07-16-2013, 01:49 PM

PMed you djdnz.

Question on the helper springs because I'm getting mixed information:

Helper springs on the top in the front, and on the bottom in the rear?

Thoughts?

From OP:

Looks like all on the bottom, doubt it's different between T0 and T2.
