Heh, aren't we going to be in ASP or something anyway this year? Guessing you're running Milwaukee SCCA?

Btw, do you have your car yet? I wanna see the white this Saturday!

well...looks like the suspension might come to fruition as long as the concerns will.be addressed...Wahoooooo..

Shit I may come up and run in Mill if you are going to have the car up there. Still waiting on mine. I know a few of my buds from chicago will be up there. need some help with lug choices if you have time. So I can run my autocross wheels.

If you could...would you??? thanks for the input..

Well ...I am pulling the trigger on these.......I can't wait to get them going ... ..In case you didn't make the connection...

These...Came off of This:



They have a couple of modifications to do to make them work on the BRZ/FRS...like the Mounting tab for the Front Sway bar...that and making sure the valving and spring Rates. are where they need to be.....Soooo Excited..

Are the lower brackets for the struts removable?

I haven't had a good look at how the front bar mounts to the struts. Just this:


In this pic the stock ones look like they mount higher than the bracket. The links also look pretty flimsy. If shorter links will work, will you weld lower?

Post pics of your solution. Thanks.

Can't wait for you to try your wheel set up. I'm hoping it works as its the same wheel specs that I was looking at. Worried about the 245 in the front as soon as we add -2degrees on camber the tire at the top will be much closer to the strut.

not if you use plates....then you will gain clearance as it moves the whole strut inward...the camber bolts only adjusts the hub bringing it closer to the strut.....make sense???

Not sure that I will be going that route right off the bat. that's why I'm worried. Are you going to try and fit the wheels on the stock spring and shocks first? Coils are not in the budget this year. Plates maybe if they work good with the stock setup.
