So in the dry my brz is very planted in turns, but now in the wet the car behaves more like a 1970's muscle car when it comes to cornering. The obvious answer is the rubber, I'll probably switch to 225/45r17 MPSS on the stock wheels once the stock rubber is worn out. The car sees double duty as DD and AutoX STX class. My suspension work is only Bilstein B8 shocks/struts and RCE Tarmac springs

That link had a loooot of marketing. The decision between twin and monotube should not be made based on travel. If a damper is designed correctly for the application, the damper should have adequate travel. Period. Subaru puts inverted Mono's into the sti, bilstein's offerings are all inverted monotubes ( for our car at least). You can't tell me bilstein put in less engineering than tein.
Just a car in point. Rally cars almost exclusively run long travel inverted monotubes. They have prodigious amounts of travel. Specialized application? Yes. But obviously long travel can be done. To me the advantages in strength, damping precision, resistance to foaming and cavitation, ease of rebuildability, and ease of revalving are all hugely in monotube's favor. |

Thoughts on running no rear sway bar? I was hunting down a clunk, which turns out it was my rear endlinks. I have Hotchkis 25.4mm front bar (hollow, highest setting @ 630 lbs/in), RCE Tarmac springs, and Konis. It's been quite fun to drive around but haven't really pushed it yet.

Without a rear bar it's going to want to push like crazy.

Yup. @Ninjin runs without a rear sway bar.
