What are the blue top hats in the picture with the RCE Tarmacs?

These are the prototype HVT non raising front camber plates, designed to work with stock struts/konis, or coilovers.

how do you like the whiteline sways, which ones did you go with. sways are really the only thing i think i'm missing here.

those top hats look great, i'm already on my third set of whiteline com-c and its getting to be the last straw. wanna ship a set to "test" to AZP so we can put it to the test on my v3's

That's what I thought they looked like, but they were black in your store. Is blue an option?

Can I get your opinions on the White Lin X-Heavy Duty rear sway bar kit? I have the kit sitting in the garage uninstalled because I live in Chicago and have been skull fucked by snow and the cold.

Black is the only option for HVT camber plates, the blue was just for prototype.

Whiteline makes great products, we have ran them on our Subarus for about 10 years now. This specific kit like all whiteline products fits correctly, made of quality materials, most importantly it flat out makes the car handle better and more fun to drive!

As far as what rear bar to go with, that would depend on the rest of your setup and what you are doing with the car.

How big are those? I tried an STi stocker (19mm) and it was kinda scary. That was also on otherwise stock suspension and worn tires. Traction control was going batshit crazy! It might be better with your fat tires and KWs, though. I'll make you a good deal...

Jive Turkey · 03-05-2014, 04:13 PM

iirc its 17 or 18mm.

why was it bad? extra tail happy?

17mm I believe. I imagine a 19mm bar would make the ass-end super dancy.

2point0 · 03-05-2014, 04:39 PM

Yeah, it was slide-city. Or it would have been had I turned off the TC.

My original setup was with STOCK front bar and a 2012 wrx rear, it worked out fairly well.

I do not think that the car is by any means scary but then again I do have a few suspension mods and a fairly sticky wide tire....

The most tail happy this car has been was when we were running ZERO toe all the way around.

Yeah, some better grip would have helped tons. I should mention that when I installed that bar was during rainy season. Any little bit of wetness on the ground made me take corners very carefully. Now, with just RCE Yellows and MPSS, this car feels almost as confidence-inspiring as my WRX in the rain.

What toe settings do you guys like for this car?

Jive Turkey · 03-06-2014, 01:12 PM

I'm tow in. Like .08. Makes it a bit more stable from my recent experience.
