Wow. That would be fantastic!

Any that will work with the OEM dampers. You'll need "conical washers" to use these with an OEM style mounts but they're only about $8 at Subaru.

Randy Pobst liked our BRZ with the T2's so much he wrote an article about it in SportsCar magazine; "Best Handling Car I've Ever Driven":

What is the size and length of the tarmac 0s springs? Thinking about getting some 350 pound swift springs.

That's some serious stuff if he wrote about it in an article; the man doesn't tell BS. He tells it like it is, straight-up (whether good or bad).

Check Racecomps Facebook page. That's where I read the article

Well, thanks to google I now know I probably need conical washers to get rid of my weird metal on metal noise at low speeds with my 0's. Ordering those in the morning.

Edit: Ordered. $4ish a pop. Not too bad.

Not sure if anybody else already posted the article itself, but here it is straight from SportsCar Mag.

Thanks, Andy. Are you able to quantify how much faster a T2 is on track versus a T0 with similar settings? That is, if the T2 were adjusted to ride similar to a T0, how much faster would a T2 be?
Of course, this is assuming everything else is equal (alignment, tires, pressures, etc.)
TIA

Well it wouldn't be a fair comparison...the T2s use much firmer springs than the T0s. The T2s big advantage (other than the firmer springs) would be the 2 way damping adjustability. That's huge if you want to make some quick adjustments at the track to dial things in a little more, or on the street. Rain in the forecast? Soften things up a bit to slow down weight transfer. Want a little more front grip on corner exit? Go down a click on front rebound. Is the car not turning in as fast as you like? Add a little front compression.

The T0 are valved well out of the box and work really well with whatever you throw at them, but having that extra adjustability is a pretty big bonus.

Hope that helps!

I finally had the time to install my T0's today. As I don't have a particularly level drive way, and my car was already lowered, I tried using the measurements included with the instruction. I went with the max height as I've read a few times that the heights these can go is about -15mm. Will this work? Or do I need to adjust them to get them to my target height? Mainly I'm asking is because the front appears higher than it should.

Thanks guys, and thanks for the awesome product. I had it out for a short test drive and it feels really predictable mid corner, which was my biggest grip with my old setup.

Mainly I'm asking is because the front appears higher than it should and I don't want to ruin my brand new parts.
