Thanks buddy.

I just hope they fit my regas. I really don't want to have to sell my new wheels.

Nice brakes! Would have cost you a pretty penny to get here in Aus....

Theyll fit. If not just space em out a little.

Already running 25mm spacers on the front but it's not the rotor I'm worried about, it's the calliper. I'm concerned it may not clear the recess of the wheel based on where it's bracketed to the hub. They're being installed Thursday, will report back. Fingers crossed!!!

Love the brakes.

Have you thought about getting rid of some of the rear camber?

Bushings arrived today. Goodbye comfort and spinal cord.

- Whiteline anti-dive caster correction bushing
- Whiteline rear crossmember mount bushings
- Whiteline rack & pinion mount bushing

Definitely. The car is going in for brakes/bushing install and an alignment at the end of the week, at which point some camber will be dialled out. I plan to run about neg 1.5 in the rear and the max I can get out of the Whiteline camber bolts I have in the front.

The excess camber is just left over from when I was running my Kiwamis. They were 9.5's with pretty aggressive offset so I used the camber to tuck them in a little to avoid any unnecessary police attention.

For sure. I forgot you guys down there have those crazy rules about wheels sticking past the body. Like Australia has fitment police.

The front camber is legit. I'm at -3 and want to run more. I'm at -1.3 in the rear with the SPC LCAs and stock toe links. The toe links are maxed though so I barely run 0 toe. New links will be enough to get the rear down to about -1 to maybe -0.7 in the car.

Car looks great though. I'm jealous you found a decent set of Regas. The Tom's tails look rad too.

Thanks for the kind words!

Yeah we have crazy 'hoon' laws here and they're complete BS.

What sort of toe is ideal for our application?

I love the Regas, just hope they fit over my BBK.

If need be, you can always throw on a spacer and add more camber.


For toe, I say as close to zero as possible (toe in if you have to). Toe out sucks in the rear. Toe in on the rear will help with stability at speed but it also seems to kind of fight the car at angle. Zero toe makes the car feel more lively in my opinion. Easier to kick out and hold it at angle.

When I was running toe in (and a lot more negative rear camber) the car felt okay at best. Didn't feel planted or stable and the car felt....... numb? Like my steering/throttle inputs didn't seem to impact the car's behavior much. It was more difficult to drive.

Now though.... it's cake. Hold the steering wheel in pretty much one spot and drive the entire car on throttle. Love it

Cheers for the info dude. I have a 24 hour drift event coming up in a few weeks which is what I've been prepping the car for. Will have a couple of GoPros strapped to the car for the whole weekend so I'm hoping to get some good footage.

How many degrees of caster are you running in the front?

5.9

I believe it's the same as stock since I haven't added/changed parts that would alter the caster. Only thing I could think of is the camber plates on the Stance coilovers changed the caster a little bit but I don't think they did.
