Please test the effect of wallet weight on track times.

Thanks,

Driven a 4.67 setup before. Feels like you can't catch the gears properly because the car redlines too quickly.

I think testing ideal drop with the stock, or even upgraded suspension would be a cool test. I'm inclined to believe STI and TRD when they assert that a ~15mm drop is optimal without adversely affecting geometry, but testing we can all observe would be awesome.

Also this might not count as a test, but developing some kind of "catch-all" alignment setup would be cool for us track day guys who don't have the time or expertise to individually test alignments, especially across multiple courses. At least this way we'd have a baseline or some "acceptable" setup to go have fun with.

I don't quite follow your post. Torsen is mechanical.

I don't have my FRS yet but I'm planning my mods. I'd like to see the effect of camber on the stock suspension if it has not already been done.

car really needs more front camber. That's why camber bolts are the best $40 performance mod to most people on stock suspension.
