Alternative Modifications for Baby Boomer Toyobaru Owners

Throw in an extra set of some wider wheels for the track and you're done. Comfortably daily drivable, but can decimate a racetrack to some extent.

I checked the fastwrx.com site to learn about RCE Black springs. A very interesting choice. And an interesting company.

I've also enjoyed learning how to think differently from the MotoIQ web site. When everybody else was focusing on the bodywork and the track footage, they published detailed suspension pictures and a detailed analysis of the FR-S' modification potential. I paid close attention to their strong recommendation to install camber plates early in the build.

I agree with that wholeheartedly. On any car with macstruts, Camber plates are uf the utmost importance as a first mod.
