ST coil over + LCA + Camber Plate + Wheels/Tires

[BRZPDX]

Finally got my suspension bits figured out for stage 1. Again, thanks to @DarrenDriven for the install, and Tyler too. @PRE for the alignment and rear LCA install.

New set of wheels, Rays 57xtreme 18x8.5 , 18x9.5, powder coated Nissan OEM Nismo black (emerald pearl). Rays electric blue center cap (complete rip off btw lol..)

Tires: Bridgestone Potenza RE11 225/40 F 255/35 R



F -3 camber R -3.5 camber

ST coil overs:
Feels a bit bouncy in my opinion but need to drive it more. Not sure its because its too lowered? I do notice anyone with coil overs feel a bit more "bouncier" whether its KW V3 or FA500 (only ridden in those 2 set ups).



Hotchkis camber plates:
Very good quality, only has -1.8 camber adjust-ability but with the supplied camber bolts, we were able to get to -3.5, but brought it back to -3. No nasty sounds, I guess the NVH has slightly increased but no noise, more road feel.





SPL Titanium rear LCA's:
Awesome quality, much more thicker and lighter than the OEM LCA's. Adjust-ability is plenty, and we dialed it in at -3.5 camber. I can feel a slight increase in NVH surprisingly from the rear, but in a good way. I added end links as well since it was laying around PRE's shop, the rear feels tighter.



Over all feels:
Turn in is incredible, more confidence and feels more balanced. NVH has increased but in a good way.

Ride height:
I still have room to go lower but this is low enough for me. Still want to drive this on the street, not completely track car yet (although getting close to that feel..). I'd say its about a 2in drop.









Good to be back on the road.

Good looking car. Wish those wheels were in my budget when I was wheel shopping.

[BRZPDX]

thanks dude, now debating whether to paint match the hood or not.. Like everyone said, the CF food grew on me lol.

[thehapaone]

damn looks good the drop isn't too much and it looks clean

how low is it from stock?

[m.box.design]

I love those wheels. How much of a steal did you get them for?

I think you should paint the hood and ghost fade the vents. With it being unpainted, I feel like it makes the front stand out too much and there's no balance in the rear because your trunk is white. Maybe a giant CF wing in the back would balance the CF hood.

Fwiw, my setup definitely feels a bit "bouncier" but I think that might actually be tires rather than coils.

You coming out to the Alfa day next month to test the limits of the new suspension?

[myd_lyf_crysys]

Looks great! Drop is just right...

I'm gonna get a few bits for my car so I can autocross next year, and maybe do 1 session of HPDE @ PIR. Will probably just do PCA auto-x since SCCA would be too intimidating! I'll do the SCCA auto-x beginners class however.

I'm on my tablet now so typing sucks on this thing. -2 in drop from stock I think. ghost fade would be awesome, ill prob go that route. rears need more lovin, I agree. need one accent blue color for the rays cap.


Need more info on Alfa track day. I'm contemplating getting all white racing suit and white helmet to look like the stig. I'm going to show up fully geared and never taking it off the entire event.

[m.box.design]

don't get the suit til you're good. it'd be like a beginner showing up to a game of pickup basketball with full nba gear on. :P

Yea that's what I'm gonna do. Not sure how the RE11's are gonna do in the rain..

So it says I need to go to some orientation the day before the track day but doesn't have much info on it. Did you go to that? I remember for other track groups, if you have done more than 8 auto-x's, we can skip the orientation, but I'm sure all groups are different.

If the weather is good, I'll most likely hit this up. Lets get more 86's to join in on this!

[Decay107]

Nope never went to anything like that. I don't even see it in the description.
