@Racecomp Engineering do you guys know if getting Raceseng Spring Perch or keeping T0s spring perch will change the need for the Subaru Washer?

@Raceseng may know too....

Thanks.
I got the front raceseng plates with the perch and did not use the original ones. I also re-used rear top mounts.

For anyone else on the fence about the T2's...

Randy Pobst drove our BRZ at Road Atlanta this past weekend (RCE T2s, 400lb springs, 215 NT01s) and said it was "one of the best handling cars I've ever driven".

That's a hell of an endorsement, considering who it's coming from and how many different cars he's driven on track.

I have to say those settings rce provides for the T2's are spot on. The car feels great. These coilovers are everything I expected (really more) and nothing I was worried about.

Other than the springs, what are the other differences between the RCE T0's and the KW V1's? I was about to pull the trigger on some ST's, but I'm thinking the stainless body may be a better idea in the long run.

@Racecomp Engineering:

What is the length and the ID of the front and rear springs of the T0??

For those that cannot afford the $350 spring rate option, or would just like to save money; I noticed you can easily find a used set/pair (or discounted new set/pair), of Hyperco/Eibach coilover springs for very cheap - around $60/pair or $120/set (if not better).

This would be a great alternative/option, rather than spending $350 on Swift springs.

350 or 400 springs sound delicious

The valving is substantially different. Our RCE T0's are much more at home on the track.

ID is 60mm and I need to double check length (at home now). I will talk to Myles about making 350 lbs/in springs the default.
